YOUNG AND EMERGING LEADERS FORUM
Created by ITAC and Creative Generation, YELF is a programme specifically designed to address the persistent generational gaps and absences we see in international networks and spaces.
This annual 9-month initiative fosters a dynamic peer network among emerging professionals in culture, education, and social change. Hosted collaboratively by ITAC and Creative Generation, the Young & Emerging Leaders Forum (YELF) builds cohorts and community among emerging leaders in our sector.
As the international gathering space for our sector, we are proud to ensure youth voices are supported and included in all levels of our work.
