Creativity. Innovation. Leadership.

Globalization and worldwide technological

development have created an infinite number

of opportunities for young people everywhere.

However, with these opportunities have also

come challenges, and in an increasingly

borderless, interconnected world, the

advantages are not evenly distributed, nor is

the way forward easy to navigate. Sharp critical

thinking skills, intercultural competency, and

the ability to find creative solutions to complex

situations are needed in young leaders to

ensure that future generations continue to

benefit from the social progress and economic

growth of the previous decades.
