Achraf Manar

Article

Achraf Manar is one of the organizers of the youth-led group Different Leaders, which aims to promote responsible, inclusive and sustainable leadership, and influence decision-makers towards building equitable and sustainable policies. Having grown up in both urban and rural working-class neighborhoods in France, Achraf was exposed to inequalities that fueled his need to be committed to the service of a society. He became a student representative, to defend the interests of nearly 35,000 students. Engaged in the non-profit Article 1, (France’s largest equal opportunity organization), he helped organize a consultation of french young people leading to 17 proposals against inequalities within the 2019 Youth 7 summit, and presented to french ministers. He contributed also to organize 3 editions of the International Day of Equal Opportunities in more than ten countries, to help his cadets in their academic and professional paths and raise awarness about equality of opportunities.
