In June 2019, 66 Young Leaders from around the world traveled to Manchester for a week of intensive training in leadership, community coaching and how to use soccer to tackle social issues.
The 2019 Cityzens Giving Young Leaders Summit, presented by Etihad Airways, enabled Young Leaders from 17 cities around the world, several of whom were leaving their countries for the first time, to connect with each other at Manchester City’s state-of-the-art training facility, City Football Academy in the Etihad Campus.
Young Leaders accessed extensive training from City in the Community coaches to further develop their skills and confidence to deliver life-changing projects in their local communities.
