Global Policy - Diplomacy - Sustainability Fellowship
Best Minds Globally - Interact. Immerse. Involve. Evolve.
Courses
Workshops
We have developed workshops based on our industry interactions. We asked policy leaders and businesses the question: what skills will leaders in policy, diplomacy, and sustainability need to navigate through the job markets in the 21st century. The answer we got was - (1) the ability to write and communicate well; (2) systems thinking; (3) fundraising; (4) the ability to solve complex problems; (5) understanding of the circular economy; and (6) stakeholder management.

Mentorship
The GPODS Fellowship offers a unique system of mentorship to the Fellows by assigning not just specialized experience-driven lectures by Global leaders in the fields of Public Policy, Diplomacy, and Sustainability but also arranging interactive 'Office-Hours'* with many of them. The Lectures are intended to give the fellows first-hand insights into the world of the most coveted professionals across the board; while the Office Hours are intended to sharpen the Fellows' mental models as they discuss, comprehend, learn and explore the intricacies of the various fields of their interest. This also gives them the opportunity to network and establish personal connections with the current leaders in the fields of Public Policy, Diplomacy, and Sustainability.
