Applications are now open for the Satyarthi Summer School (SSS) 2026, a flagship global residential programme designed to nurture compassionate youth leaders.
About the Programme
The Satyarthi Summer School is an initiative of the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion, founded by Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi.
At a time when the world is facing complex challenges—inequality, injustice, and climate crises—the programme is built on a simple yet powerful belief: compassion can be a transformative force for change. The programme brings together young leaders who are willing to rethink leadership, not as power, but as responsibility.
