Moonshot Camp 2024

About The 2024 Moonshot Young Leaders Camp

We've designed an immersive learning journey for young leaders and their mentors that guided them from the foundational principles of leadership through to the practical development of impactful social ventures.

By creating immersive classrooms in art galleries, museums, and festivals, we encouraged thought-provoking conversations and sensory experiences that unleashed the creativity of our young leaders. They passionately ideated and developed projects with the potential to effect profound positive change in their communities and beyond.
