A Transformative Experience
The Global Leadership Challenge (GLC) aims to help emerging leaders grow in the wisdom and character required for responsible leadership that makes a real difference in the world — leadership that does not simply seek to fulfil personal ambition but advances the common good.
​
GLC is a joint initiative of the University of Oxford and the St. Gallen Symposium, supported by partners.
From 11–15 December 2025, the GLC will focus on challenges defined by our partners. Participants will work on real-world issues and co-create impact projects, addressing them through the lens of responsible leadership and sustainability.
Vision
GLC aims to empower emerging leaders to grow in the wisdom and character required for leadership that makes a difference in the world. At the heart of every remarkable leader lies an unwavering foundation of character – a steadfast commitment to making the world a better place. Through this platform, we aim to guide and inspire young leaders on their journey, helping them build the skills and values necessary to shape a better future for all.
