Fulbright Canada post-COVID Challenge History has shown that human ingenuity can carry us through and create an even brighter collective future in times of crisis and tragedy. We are experiencing a time of great opportunity as digital transformation accelerates and the call for social responsibility proceeds. Given that the current global health crisis is likely to be one of the defining moments for this generation, the Post-COVID Challenge hopes to inspire youth and provide a venue for them to engage in shaping and enriching our collective future. Both local and global initiatives can have a remarkable impact. We are confident that the next generation can take this challenge to new heights and have an incredible impact, especially when they have the appropriate support. Supported by a generous initial gift from Fulbright Canada Board member Ajay Royan, the Fulbright Canada Post-COVID Challenge is the signature program in Fulbright Canada’s 30th Anniversary. It reflects our commitment to encourage, celebrate, and support the diverse perspectives and unique ideas of bright young leaders. Our goal is to tap into the next generation’s creativity and imagination, with particular attention to underrepresented youth, and provide them with an opportunity to present their solutions to the current crisis and their bold ideas for moving forward.
