Franco Mosso
Co-founder @ Enseña Perú
Franco weaves three purposes:
- contribute to the flourishing of young people as changemakers without losing their identity and wellbeing;
- research youth-led responses and resistance to social, political and environmental injustice; and
- elevate youth voices/ideas/experiences from unlikely places.
Franco has achieved this as co-founder (16 years) and former CEO (10 years) of Enseña Perú and as country lead of its Student National Leadership System (5 years). He is a Salzburg Global Seminar Fellow and writer-in-residence, a member of Catalyst Now, a TEDx Speaker, and an advisor to nonprofits and governments worldwide on intergenerational leadership and youth engagement strategies. He has authored several chapters on systemic change and youth engagement for publications at Harvard, The Learning Planet Institute, UNESCO, NCEE, and Springer. He works as an international consultant and keynote speaker while pursuing his research at OISE, University of Toronto, and serving as an ally of solidarity youth movements worldwide. He is a recipient of the Harvard Leadership in Education Award in 2018, the Harvard Faculty Tribute Award in 2018, and the Connaught Award in 2024 at the University of Toronto. Franco holds a Master’s in International Education Policy from Harvard. He is living in Toronto with his wife and daughter.
