9th Young Muslim Leadership Program underway in UK
The YMLP 2014, which spans the period from August 31st - September 13th, provides a forum for British Young Muslims to talk about their aspirations and concerns and discuss ways to harness their potential and talents for the benefit of society.
The event’s agenda features presentations and speeches by ministers, politicians, MPs, law experts, businesspeople, academics and representatives of British NGOs and media.
This two-week residential summer school is held at Oxford each year and is attended by young British Muslims, men and women between the ages of 20 and 29, who have demonstrated leadership potential in their chosen career-paths. They are drawn from a variety of backgrounds and interests, including national and local government, academia, the legal profession, media, and the voluntary sector.
The course consists of workshops, seminars and institutional visits. Presentations are made by Members of Parliament, senior civil servants and academics, as well as representatives of the media and community organizations. In evaluating their experience, participants have welcomed the opportunities the Program provides to discuss the challenges facing Muslims in relation to education, employment, housing and foreign policy.
