Inspired by world-renowned personalities namely, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Gandhi and Malala, the Ubuntu Leaders Academy was founded in 2010, aims to train a new generation of youth leaders focused on community development through Servant Leadership, Ethics of Care and Building Bridges Principles.
ULA invites the participants on an inner journey that challenges the way they see themselves and relate to others, becoming able, as Gandhi said, “to fight for the change they want to see in the world, through the Ubuntu Method. It aims to form leaders who are capable of caring, listening, trusting and promoting reconciliation by building bridges and promoting human dignity.
