Future Generations Leadership Academy

The Future Generations Leadership Academy is a partnership programme led by the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Sophie Howe.

In order to achieve the aspirations of the Well-being of Future Generations Act, the Commissioner is committed to supporting and inspiring Wales’ future leaders. The Future Generations Leadership Academy supports young people with opportunities to learn and enhance their leadership skills in Wales today and in the future.

Now in its second year, this ambitious and innovative leadership programme has attracted partners from across Wales’ public, private and voluntary sector to collaborate to train over young people from across Wales in leadership development and in the Well-being for Future Generations Act.

In November 2021, the Commissioner launched the second edition of the Academy, following a successful pilot in 2019-2020. Details of the first programme can be found below – and further details on the second academy will be published shortly.

During the programme the participants will challenge current thinking through reverse mentoring and collaborate with experts and decision makers on the most pressing challenges. This programme will help our young leaders to build the skills, knowledge, and networks they need to make decisions for better public services in Wales now and in the future.
