About The 2025 Moonshot Young Leaders Camp

We've designed an immersive learning journey for young leaders and their mentors to guide them through the foundational principles of leadership and the practical development of impactful social ventures.
By creating immersive classrooms in art galleries, museums, and festivals, we encourage thought-provoking conversations and sensory experiences that unleash the creativity of our young leaders. They passionately ideate and debate, learn from each other, and reflect on their experiences. They find new connections and identify resources to develop their projects and meet their potential to effect profound positive change in their communities and beyond.

Main program activities

The camp program encompassed five distinct types of learning experiences, each tailored to different needs, talents, skills, and levels of introspection.
Thought-Provoking Seminars
Our young leader's engaged in circular seated discussions centered around readings from thought-provoking authors and fostered a deeper understanding of complex topics.
Embodied Leadership Workshops
Inspired by Yemi A.D.'s philosophy that "Knowledge is just a rumor until it lives in the body," these workshops integrated practical exercises that encouraged leaders to embody their knowledge authentically.
Small Groups
Teams of 2-3 young leaders and a mentor collaborated to discuss their social ventures, and identified strategies to overcome obstacles they face.
Keynotes & Panels
Moonshotters participate in interactive discussions in public forums. At the New York stage of the Melting Pot conference, an event open to guests of the Colours of Ostrava music festival, new ideas and diverse perspectives take center stage.
Calibrations
Moonshotters have opportunities to dive into inner work with the guidance of experts in mind, body, and soul. Exercises including breath-work, sound-healing, movement, body language, and more, aim to align and enhance personal well-being.
