Center for Economic Research in Pakistan - Summer Program in Lahore

On behalf of CERP, we are reaching out to share with you details about the launch of Activate, at CERP, a first-of-its-kind, highly selective summer program in Lahore, Pakistan, that aims to equip the youth interested in the development sector with experiential learning and on-ground field experience in Pakistan, tailored technical and professional development skills, and networking / engagement opportunities.

Applications are now open for Track 1. Launching in Summer 2024, it is designed for overseas Pakistani High School students residing outside Pakistan with high academic and extracurricular performance.

The program is a platform to immerse in Pakistan’s cultural and development context and benefit from an enriching, global experience before entering college. With the Pakistani diaspora population spread across the world, it is an opportunity for students to reconnect to their hereditary roots and explore a developing country environment while growing in the program personally and professionally.
