Manchester City has kicked off its third annual Cityzens Giving Young Leaders Summit.

We’ve joined forces with Etihad Airways to develop our network of youth leaders around the world, who are tackling social issues in their communities by delivering youth-led football projects.

We’ve welcomed returning leaders from Manchester, New York, Melbourne, Cape Town, Kuala Lumpur, Barranquilla, Kolkata and São Paulo to the City Football Academy, as well as from the latest additions to our global community network in Beijing, Bandung, Mexico City and Abu Dhabi.

Last week, 16 of our returning leaders visited the Peak District to plan the summit and have been co-delivering the sessions to the new young leaders today.

As well as getting to know each other, they youngsters have been learning about how their football projects can impact society.
