Launch of the Future Leaders Programme Essay Collection

We are delighted to launch our Future Leaders Programme Essay Collection which addresses some of the biggest issues facing the next generation of UK Parliamentarians following a General Election in 2024.

Former Leader of the Conservative Party, First Secretary of State and UK Foreign Secretary Lord Hague has written the foreword for this collection and said:

The Future Leaders programme from the Coalition for Global Prosperity is, therefore, an invaluable initiative, helping parliamentary candidates to broaden their knowledge, connections and experiences on areas of foreign policy. From convening groups of senior political figures to advise candidates to arranging visits to refugee camps in the Middle East, the programme has empowered many soon-to-be MPs with the knowledge to speak with authority on foreign policy.

This collection features essays looking at key challenges such as critical minerals, water security and UK soft power.

I’ve had the privilege of being a part of the @BritainLeads #futureleaders programme this year…sadly it ended yesterday, but it ended on a high as I was able to talk about my highlights alongside CGP CEO @ryanhensonuk and former Minister for the Middle East, @AlistairBurtUK pic.twitter.com/poIcWwJxKW

Delighted to talk about @BritainLeads Future Leaders Programme in @ConHome this morning. As the world becomes more volatile, it’s more important than ever that future MPs have the best possible grasp of defence, diplomacy, and development 🇬🇧 🌎 https://t.co/rZdp8vrEkA

I was delighted to join @BritainLeads last night to launch the Future Leaders Programme Essay Collection.

I even wrote one myself! I wrote about the vital importance of UK soft power and our duty to use it as a force for good 👇 pic.twitter.com/3YQKXTe4E3
