The Knight Emerging City Champions Studio will launch in Toronto, in August 2024. The Studio is a 3-Day program including city tours and meetings with grassroots community activists and emerging and emerged city leaders. Champs will have the opportunity to build relationships with alumni and peers as well as work through their project ideas with support and coaching from 8 80 Cities.

For the rest of the fellowship year, there will be ongoing virtual learning labs and monthly meet-ups to support peer-to-peer learning and capacity building.
