Why take part?

Pakistan100 is your opportunity to come together with other brilliant Pakistanis and think about your generation’s legacy. You will be part of a diverse group of 16-24 year olds from all corners of Pakistan and across the globe. Together you will polish your leadership and development skills through a unique lens of Cultural Intelligence (CQ), with access to innovative learning materials based on ground breaking Common Purpose thought leadership & the exclusive Pakistan100 model of leadership. It will push you to think independently and work in groups to bridge the boundaries that separate us. The future needs leaders with CQ: those who can deal with complex challenges in a way that brings people together.

Every participant who completes the programme will receive a Certificate of Completion and the Common Purpose Legacy Leadership Badge: a digital badge you can add to your LinkedIn profile and resume. You will also become part of the 100,000+ Common Purpose Alumni around the world as well as the unique network of Pakistan100 participants.

What happens on Pakistan100?

Over four weeks, Pakistan100 participants will come together to learn, brainstorm, test, refine and present their vision for Pakistan. Our young leaders will learn from established leaders known as the patrons, investigate key issues, hold difficult conversations, and collaborate to define what they hope Pakistan’s future will hold.

The Patrons will serve as group advisors, speakers and mentors throughout the programme. They will be supporting the participants – and in doing so they will see the future of Pakistan through the eyes of the next generation.

YOU will achieve all this by engaging in the following tasks:

  • Be curious
  • Join a private Facebook group for your Pakistan100 cohort
  • Complete weekly modules of the Common Purpose CQ Accelerator
  • Access and engage in exclusive webinars, forums and online content
  • Think about your innovative idea and share it with your fellow participants
  • Become a leader for your country
