My 3ZERO Leadership Challenge Experience: Empowering Gen Z for a Better Future
Published:
I am thrilled to share that I have successfully completed the 4th 3ZERO Leadership Challenge (3ZLC) program! This prestigious program was held on August 30, 2024, at the SocialTech Summit 2024, along with pre-online sessions.
As a recognition of my participation and successful completion of the program, I have been awarded a certificate of achievement. You can view my certificate here.
The 3ZERO initiative is a global movement striving for a world with Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, and Zero Poverty. It addresses pressing global challenges such as climate change, economic disparities, and social injustices, aiming to create a sustainable and inclusive future for all. The initiative was launched in 2017 by Convergences, a reflection, mobilisation, and advocacy platform. Since its inception, Convergences has organised 3ZERO Forums in various countries to foster multi-actor dialogue and partnerships, facilitating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 3ZERO objectives.
The 3ZLC program, themed “3ZERO for Global Peace: Voice from Asian Gen Z,” aimed to harness the innovative spirit and global perspectives of Generation Z across Asia. It focused on promoting an inclusive, sustainable, and peaceful world while fostering leadership skills among young visionaries dedicated to making a difference.
The program included an online workshop, where participants engaged in insightful discussions on leadership and social impact. This was followed by a 3-minute video presentation, where participants showcased their ideas and learnings on global peace. In November 2024, Pope Francis and Nobel Peace laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus launched the Pope Francis Yunus 3Zero Club in Rome. This initiative empowers marginalized youth by providing platforms to develop innovative and sustainable solutions, furthering the mission of achieving zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero net carbon emissions.
My participation in the 3ZERO Leadership Challenge was an enriching experience. The program provided an interactive learning environment, where I had the opportunity to network and collaborate with like-minded individuals. Through the online sessions and video presentation, I developed a deeper understanding of leadership, sustainability, and social impact.
This achievement marks the beginning of my journey towards impactful leadership. Completing this challenge has been an incredible experience, and my certificate of achievement is a testament to my dedication to driving positive change. I encourage more young leaders to participate in future editions of the 3ZERO Leadership Challenge and contribute to shaping a more inclusive and sustainable world.
The 3ZERO Leadership Challenge was organized and supported by esteemed institutions, including 3ZERO Trust, Social Business Academia Network, Kyushu University (Institute for Asian and Oceanian Studies - Q-AOS), UDDOKTA, and 3ZERO CLUB Japan. I extend my gratitude to Nazneen Sultana, Trustee of 3ZERO Trust, Professor Shuji Shimizu, Executive Research Director at QAOS and Vice President of Kyushu University, and Dr. Ashir Ahmed, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, Kyushu University, for their invaluable contributions in making this program a success.
I am proud of this milestone and excited for what lies ahead! For more information about the 3ZERO movement and its initiatives, visit 3ZERO.org.
