The VALE Leadership Symposium is an annual event dedicated to exploring and promoting value-driven leadership among youth. With the fourth edition being planned for the fall of 2025, this dynamic event will bring together leaders and changemakers from various international and national organisations. The specifics of the program will be much up to the organisers to decide, but in previous editions we’ve had sessions filled with enlightening discussions, interactive workshops, and invaluable networking opportunities on various topics related to value-driven leadership. To maximize the international involvement, this time the Symposium will be held virtually.

You will work closely with Erik of The VALE Core Team, who will be a part of the Symposium project team and provide guidance and support throughout the process.​
We are looking for someone with:
-
a solid understanding of value-driven leadership principles, with a keen interest in exploring these concepts further (being an alumnus of a related course is a big plus! 😉)
-
enthusiasm for creating a high-quality, impactful event
-
a positive attitude towards teamwork, combined with the ability to take responsibility for individual tasks
-
experience or a strong curiosity in organising virtual events
-
passion for promoting value-driven leadership and youth empowerment to a wider audience
-
role-relevant skillsets such as virtual facilitation, experience with administrating larger online events and graphic design could be helpful to your application – but aren't not mandatory
What's in it for you?
-
Contribute to meaningful conversations: Help shape discussions on leadership that inspire and empower young leaders.
-
Enhance your skills: Gain hands-on experience in organising a large-scale virtual event, from planning to execution.
-
Expand your network: Connect with like-minded individuals and leaders from across Europe and beyond.
-
Certification: Receive a certificate recognising your contribution and efforts.
-
Be part of something big: Play a crucial role in an event that seeks to make a real impact in the field of youth leadership.
-
Fun! This is not your typical online event, and organising it won't be either. Sparkles and laughter in true VALE spirit is almost guaranteed!
