The Skinny
The world is changing, evolving. Communication is becoming universal. Technology is shrinking the world around us. Media is redefining us as smaller and smaller variations on demographic, a play on a single theme. In time, they say, there will be only one humanity.
In the meantime, the world is a chaotic ball of wars, politics, culture, and money.
The goal of the Emerlyon Academy Initiative is to establish a future where a variety of cultures can find common ground. Rather than adjudicate disputes on the ground, the goal is to establish generational change. The Academy takes the best, the brightest, and the richest from across the world and turns them into the future of the world. Not only that, but refugees, youth criminals, and hard cases of all sorts are given a "second change", to serve as poster figures to return to their homes and 'make a difference' with the connections they build.
This project is a joint effort between the United Nations, Interpol, and massive private investments from Alistair Thoros, an international investment manager and consultant. When asked why he would match the funding of the international community on this initiative, his smiling response was thus: "The key to the growth of any investment is capital."
Emerlyon Academy Centers
There are several academy centers located across the world. These facilities are largely self-contained with classrooms, libraries, dormitories (both suites and shared rooms), dining centers, athletics facilities, and all the best in staff, equipment, and local support. Practically anyone can find their way into Emerlyon if they satisfy the needs of the school. Recruiters travel from schools to juvenile detention centers to embassies to mental health facilities, scouring for people with potential left unmet. In the 5 years since the program's inception, there has not been a single "problem graduate", which speaks much to the school's judgment...or ability to manage its public relations.
