Fully Funded St Gallen Symposium Global Leadership Challenge for Emerging Young Leaders

Fully Funded St Gallen Symposium Global Leadership Challenge for Emerging Young Leaders

The Global Leadership Challenge (GLC) aims to help emerging leaders to grow in the wisdom and character required for responsible leadership that makes a difference in the world — leadership that doesn’t simply seek to fulfil personal ambition but furthers societies’ sustainable development.

GLC is a joint initiative of the University of Oxford (Social Sciences Division and the Oxford Character Project) and the St. Gallen Symposium, supported by our Main Partners HCL Technologies, the Lemann Foundation and the Templeton World Charity Foundation, as well as the Knowledge Partners.

From 8 – 12 December, GLC 2022 will focus on “A New Generational Contract” as its core theme. The idea of a generational contract captures the principle that different generations depend on each other to provide mutual support across different stages of their lives.

It can be most simply described as “what generations owe each other” – in area such as education, environmental protection, and health – and reminds us we have a responsibility to be good descendants and ancestors, and to consider the impacts of our actions on all generations.

To tackle these questions, GLC 2022 will convene 100 promising young leaders and 20 Senior Advisors to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time by integrating responsible leadership and practical actions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Integrating character education and design thinking, the five-day challenge will equip young leaders with the values and skills needed to build a sustainable future.
