Testimonials

“The Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders (ADEL) program was a transformative experience that exceeded all expectations. The program’s passion—for connection, for dialogue, for knowledge, and for progress—is contagious, and I hope it never loses that spark.
Coming from Argentina, where we often look to Europe and North America for innovation, ADEL broadened my perspective by highlighting the dynamic initiatives and impactful leaders across other continents. The Policy Center for the New South, a Tier 1 think tank with over a decade of excellence, stands as a hidden gem from Africa—a continent too often underestimated. It challenges misconceptions that I also suffer coming from Latin America.
Personally, ADEL renewed my hope in humanity’s ability to foster progress and harmony in a chaotic world. Professionally, the program enriched my vision of global collaboration and policymaking.
Connecting with 40 remarkable leaders, I had the privilege of engaging not only through workshops and panels in formal settings but also during more relaxed moments over coffee breaks and meals. These interactions offered invaluable insights into their resilience, humanity, and unique perspectives. ADEL reaffirmed my belief in the transformative power of dialogue to shape a better future—one driven by the diversity, passion, and extraordinary voices of individuals committed to meaningful change.”
