Ethics in Business – World Youth Forum
A New Dimension to Leadership
The Ethics in Business – World Youth Forum (WYF) creates an open platform for the youth (aged 18 to 35) 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!
An initiative of the World Forum for Ethics in Business, the WYF is part of the International Business & Leadership Symposium, an annual event which brings together prominent leaders in business, politics, religion and academia to consider ways and means of strengthening human values and ethics in business, and highlight new leadership styles that are profitable, yet sustainable.
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
The Youth are the Trustees of the World!
