On Thursday 10 November and Friday 11 November the Global Innovation Academy will be holding an invitation only programme in Singapore. The programme will be co-hosted by the Lien Centre for Social Innovation and will follow their biennial flagship event - Social iCon.

During an intensive two-day programme, participants will be immersed in a highly collaborative learning journey, designed to enable them to adapt and implement cutting-edge methods of social innovation in their respective contexts. Participants’ learning, contribution and leadership over the  programme will create a powerful knowledge platform for the Academy’s development.

The Global Innovation Academy is a new and pioneering initiative of the Young Foundation, developed in partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, NESTA in the UK, and many others around the world in the social innovation field. Its mission is to provide unique learning experiences to support the spread of effective social innovation methods that can tackle the most pressing global issues we face.
