Introducing the Global Leaders Scenario Briefs – a unique educational tool that teaches students about the vital role of community leaders. These scenarios are designed to help students explore some of the most pressing issues facing our world today.
 
Working in teams, students will assume the role of specific stakeholders in a hypothetical community setting and will be challenged to develop innovative solutions that promote long-term sustainability goals. Each scenario includes a set of guidelines for students to consider as they brainstorm solutions to their respective focus areas. These scenarios can be linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and serve as a source of inspiration to get students thinking about how they can tackle some of the world's biggest challenges.
 
These scenarios offer a dynamic and engaging way for students to learn about the importance of leadership in our communities. By participating in these scenarios, students will gain a deep understanding of the complex issues that impact our world and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them well in their future endeavors. Through teamwork and collaboration, students will learn how to leverage diverse perspectives and come up with innovative solutions that address the needs of all members of their hypothetical community.
