The GGU International Leadership Academy

The dates for our 2021 International Leadership Academy have been tentatively set for July 4-11, 2021 in Berlin. These dates will be confirmed or adapted according to the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. If an in-person Academy is not possible, the 2021 Academy will take place online in the form of a Virtual Campfire, with weekly zoom sessions over the course of 12 weeks. If you are interested in participating in Girls Gearing Up in either form, please fill out the application form below!

We will continue to update this page and our online communities in the coming months.

ACADEMY TUITION FEE (in-person Academy): 400 EUR
Financial assistance available in certain cases upon request. Please inquire for more information. Although we would like to include every interested girl, please be aware that we may not have enough financial aid to fulfill every request.

**Reduktion der Teilnehmerbeiträge in begründeten Fällen und nach Absprache möglich.
