Global Leaders Convention

Global Leaders Convention

The Global Leaders Conventions (GLCs) are World Vision’s one-day leadership events, designed to inform and empower students in Years 10-12 who are passionate about being a voice for justice in the world.

The events embrace innovative ways of learning about poverty and global hunger, including:
  • engaging multimedia presentations
  • interactive simulation game
  • dynamic keynote speakers
  • peer to peer education
  • creative thinking and problem solving exercises



The Global Leaders Convention will encourage secondary school leaders to:

Learn about the challenges associated with global hunger.

Share the vision: explore the world through the eyes of children living in poverty.

Keep the promise: inspire fellow students, school and community to become global citizens by sharing their new knowledge and skills.

Do something real: do the 40 Hour Famine and set an example to their peers.


Price: $37 per student
