Connecting the next generation of Commonwealth leaders

"The CSC was one of those events that genuinely changed the way I work or even think, in a positive and fundamental way. It gave me the gift of perspective and a realisation that has broadened my thinking in how I see challenges and opportunities."

"CSC experience was a step change in my personal journey and I believe helped me develop the networks and the my charity to what it is today.

‍

I am a great advocate of CSC leadership programme for emerging leaders from the commonwealth countries. The CSC Alumni can make a difference towards a peaceful, prosperous and united world that we desperately need now more than ever."

"Attending the Commonwealth Study Conference in 2017 was both unnerving and exhilarating. It was, without a doubt, one of the most profound and life-changing experiences of my career and personal growth. CSC completely transformed how I think, how I lead, and how I understand the world.

‍

Through intense discussions, real-world problem-solving, and immersive experiences across different sectors and cultures, I gained not just knowledge but a global perspective that continues to shape my decisions today. More than that, CSC gave me a lifelong network of incredible, like-minded leaders—people who challenge, inspire, and support each other across continents. These connections are not just professional; they are friendships that have endured and continue to grow.

‍

If you’re considering CSC, prepare for an experience that will challenge everything you think you know, open doors you never imagined, and leave you with a global family that will stay with you long after the conference ends"

"I made great long lasting friendships through CSC, learnt things I never believed possible (about myself and the world around me) and left knowing that this network was the most precious commodity in a world that was often nonsensical and needed, more than anything, for good people to rally together."

"Since participating in ELDA 2016 in Malaysia and India, and CSC Leaders 2017 in the UK and India, I have developed a truly global network of friends and colleagues. These experiences have shaped my career trajectory, giving it a more international and meaningful direction, allowing me to have a greater impact on the world around me. My CSC network continues to be a source of inspiration, collaboration and shared purpose that reinforces the value of global leadership."

"Attending CSC Leaders was an invaluable and transformational experience, offering deep insights into leadership across diverse cultures and sectors. It fostered lasting connections with influential leaders across the Commonwealth, strengthening collaboration and shared purpose. The program left a lasting impression, reinforcing the power of global networks to drive meaningful change - underscored by the simple reality that relationships, and our investment in them, matters."

"CSC opened a whole new commonwealth world to me, working in Kenya, it gave me new contacts and resources. The people I have met over the years have been inspirational and we have kept in close contact. I have been involved since making even more friends and connections over the years giving back is what it is all about. Thank you CSC leaders for being inspirational!"
