Pearson Seminar on Youth Leadership

Pearson College UWC

Pearson College UWC in Canada organises a three week course every summer for 100 students from around the world, designed to strengthen the role that young people play as future community and world leaders. The Pearson Seminar on Youth Leadership (PSYL) provides a unique learning environment and its framework includes discussions, presentations, guest speakers, workshops and interactive approaches to leadership training. Students are encouraged to broaden their perspectives on key world issues and are provided with the leadership skills they need to become leaders on themes of ecological sustainability, social justice and international understanding.

The next PSYL takes place from 23 July - 12 August 2012 at Pearson College UWC campus in British Columbia, Canada.

“I look at everything with a different perspective. Pearson was the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn't regret it for a second. I am way too involved with school and making change now.”

Young people aged 15 - 18. Applications are made directly to PSYL. Students must be recommended by their school Principal, guidance counsellor or teacher and must be fluent in English - capable of following and participating in advanced level discussions.
