THE VALE MANIFESTO
The VALE is a bold, innovative leadership platform for individuals ready to level up their personal leadership.
Through our educational initiatives and impact-building projects, we aim to to empower youth leaders worldwide to become more aware, skilled, and value-driven leaders.
Exploring the question of what good leadership could and should mean, our programs take its participants on a reflective journey of personal development.
Here, they are challenged to examine and build on their own leadership experiences, as well as to integrate the newfound leadership competences, tools, and networks into their work, volunteering, and future endeavours.
The VALE sees leadership as more than a role—it's a journey to empower, inspire, and make a difference. Our commitment is to cultivate leaders who will not only meet the needs of today but set the tone for a more enlightened and connected tomorrow.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The VALE Association is a non-profit registered in Sweden since February 2023. It is led by its board of directors, currently consisting of the association's four co-founders.
OUR STORY
In 2019, a group of skilled youth trainers embarked on an exhilarating journey together. They created a leadership educational project and named it The Value-Driven Advanced Leadership Course, known as The VALE. Fuelled by a vision to empower young leaders, The VALE set out to provide cutting-edge leadership training to those craving professional growth but lacking the necessary resources. The first VALE Course took place in the autumn of 2021, and judging by its reception, leaving a transformative mark on its participants. The first project spawned the hopes for a larger dream, and it became clear that this was just the beginning.
The VALE Association was officially created in 2023, co-founded by the people leading the project in 2021. However, The VALE is more than an association; it is a vibrant international community where innovation thrives and young professionals, volunteers, and youth workers create lasting impact on young minds.
Our team possess a wealth of experience and a genuine enthusiasm for youth work and youth leadership. We are driven by a deep desire to make a meaningful impact on the world and create lasting change. Together, we aim to put a significant dent in the universe and inspire others to join us on this remarkable journey.
