The Policy Centre for the New South (PCNS) is organising the 12th edition of the Atlantic Dialogues Conference, a high-level conference that brings together influential public and private sector leaders from across the Atlantic Basin for an open and informal discussion on interregional issues.

As we believe it is crucially important to involve young leaders in policy formulation and narrative formation, PCNS encourages intergenerational dialogue during the conference and beyond, among leading experts, senior officials and high-potential change agents, through its Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders (ADEL) programme.

The ADEL programme is PCNS's flagship young professionals programme, held two days before the Atlantic Dialogues conference. Each year, this programme brings together 30 to 50 young leaders from across the Atlantic basin and Africa. These rising leaders have demonstrated leadership skills and have a strong sense of commitment to the social and economic issues facing their communities in particular and the world in general. In 2023, 40 young professionals will be selected to participate in the Atlantic Dialogues 2023 Emerging Leaders Programme.

VALUE

• For the 40 selected participants, PCNS will cover economy class airfares to and from Morocco. In addition, local transport, catering and hotel accommodation during the programme and conference dates will be covered by the conference organisers.
