Education for Peace
The Institute of Emerging Leaders (TiEL)
Investing in education, developing emerging leaders, and creating opportunities for young people to build confident, capable and peaceful communities.
Education as a pathway to peace and opportunity
The Institute of Emerging Leaders (TiEL) is an education and leadership initiative of the Interfaith League Against Poverty (I-LAP).
TiEL works to create opportunities for young people to pursue education, develop knowledge and skills, strengthen their confidence and prepare themselves to contribute positively to their communities and wider society.
For I-LAP, education is an important pathway towards peace, dignity and social development. By investing in young people, the initiative seeks to help build a generation that is educated, capable and equipped to participate constructively in society.
Our Belief
Every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and build a better future. Through education, mentoring and leadership development, TiEL works to open doors that can otherwise remain closed to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
