Ethics in Business – World Youth Forum
A New Dimension to Leadership
The conference not only challenges the leaders of today, it also provides a rare opportunity for young professionals from around the world to articulate their vision for a sustainable future. Acknowledging the pivotal role of education, the WFEB created in 2007 the World Youth Forum (WYF).
The WYF is an open platform for the youth (aged 18 to 30) to voice their message to the world’s top decision makers in today’s global economic and political environment and to the world community at large. More than 200 young leaders from 20 countries have participated in this unique leadership program, which helps youth to develop and strengthen the skills and capacities to take strong leadership in the world and provides opportunities to learn through interactive sessions with top business and successful political leaders.
WYF participants present “A Call of the Youth” at the Conference on Ethics in Business. The World Youth Forum also awards outstanding individuals with the World Youth Award. Previous winners were Ms. Natalie Du Toit, Olympian and Paralympian, South Africa and Mr. Suhas Gopinath, CEO & President, Globals Inc.
The five pillars of the WYF are:
- Identify and discuss urgent challenges in the global scenario, and define possible solutions.
- Develop and strengthen the skills and capacities of the youth to take strong leadership in the world.
- Provide opportunities to learn through interactive sessions with top business and successful political leaders.
- Present “A Call of the Youth” at the International Leadership Symposium on Ethics in Business at the European Parliament
