One Cabo Verdean community. Across borders. Across generations.
Cabo Verde Leadership is a foundation working to strengthen one global Cabo Verdean community—we bring our people, knowledge, talent and networks together to create opportunities and advance our collective progress.
Who we are. Why we exist.
Our community spans islands, countries and generations. Our experiences and identities are diverse; our Cabo Verdean roots connect us.
Cabo Verde is our territorial, historical and cultural root. Above all, it is our people, language, belonging and a shared history carried forward in many different ways.
Our Foundation exists to strengthen that belonging and turn shared knowledge, talent and responsibility into possibilities for collective progress—to make our global community stronger, more united and more connected.
Three connected pillars. Each offers a different way to learn, contribute and build opportunities across our global community.
Develop the confidence, judgement and practical capabilities to take responsibility and turn ideas into action.
Students, emerging and experienced leaders, educators and entrepreneurs.
Make knowledge, talent and opportunities easier to find and put into action across one global Cabo Verdean community.
Cabo Verdeans and their descendants, professionals, organisations and people connected to our community.
A digital TV station and wider media platform for information, culture and conversations by and about our global community.
Viewers, journalists, creators, educators and cultural organisations.
The Institute develops capabilities. The connection platform enables collaboration. Digital TV and media circulate knowledge and our stories.
Partner with usOur focus brings together leadership, education, entrepreneurship, culture and innovation, with technology, digital transformation and artificial intelligence as tools for learning, collaboration and collective progress.
We are building an institution that carries identity, knowledge and responsibility forward, adapting its methods to the future while remaining faithful to its mission.
We are all called to lead.
Leadership is a shared responsibility
Leadership begins when someone shares what they have learned, encourages another person or opens a door. It is not a title reserved for a few.
A young person can offer a new perspective. An experienced professional can share guidance. An entrepreneur can bring people together around a solution. Inspiration and responsibility travel in every direction.
Everyone has something to contribute, and something to learn.
