Global opportunities aren't luck: notes from Winning Global Opportunities 2.0

Two youth leaders, four areas of opportunity, and one message: there is a system, and you can learn it.

A mentor speaking to young people

On 17 January 2026 we hosted the second session of Winning Global Opportunities, a webinar for young people ready to move from ambition to action.

Many talented young people miss out on global opportunities, not for lack of ability, but because the rules are rarely explained. This session set out to change that, with no gatekeeping and no guesswork.

Who spoke

Youth leaders Ngako P. and Harris Tanui Tamanjong shared the practical steps behind the opportunities they have won.

Four areas we covered

  1. Education and global conference opportunities
  2. Leadership, advocacy and policy spaces
  3. Career and professional growth for global roles
  4. Funding, entrepreneurship and innovation

The session did not promise shortcuts. It offered structure and strategy, a blueprint rather than motivation alone. Thank you to everyone who joined, and to Yekov Cindy, Soh Juvitus Leong and Lem Meklia for making it happen.
