Young leaders who have keen interest in
education are invited to nominate or apply for
the WISE Learners’ Voice Program before the
stipulated deadline. They will be invited to
attend the WISE Summit in Doha from
November 4 to 6, as well as a pre-Summit
workshop that will start on November 2, and

the rest of 2014 and throughout 2015.
The 2014-15 WISE Learners’ Voice Program
requires commitment to two residential
sessions (10 days each). The first will take
place January 3–15 in Doha, Qatar, and the

WISE was established by Qatar Foundation in

Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.
Benefits:
Qatar Foundation will cover all fares
and accommodation costs for the
selected Learners.
WISE Learners’ Voice brings the all-
important views of students to the
issue of rethinking education.
The Program builds their
communication, entrepreneurship,
and leadership skills in order to
ensure that decision-makers hear
their views and that they are equipped
to take on leading roles in their fields
and in the world of education.
The Program is based on the
conviction that when students are co-
creators of their learning
environments they become active
participants, invested collectively as
stakeholders in their learning
environment.
