Register for public Opening & Closing Ceremony

The opening will feature an intergenerational dialogue between Arunma Oteh, Former Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank and a GLC Member, moderated by Dr Edward Brooks, Executive Director of the Oxford Character Project, University of Oxford.

During the Closing Ceremony, a jury - including Prof. Amanda Shantz (HSG) and Prof. Alexander Betts (Oxford) - will select the best GLC projects. In addition, our speaker Simona Scarpaleggia (EDGE Strategy, former CEO of IKEA Switzerland) will explore ways in which generational and gender equity matter for the future of work.

Vision

The Global Leadership Challenge aims to empower emerging leaders to grow in the wisdom and character required for leadership that makes a difference in the world —leadership that doesn’t simply seek to fulfil personal ambition but furthers societies’ sustainable development. This year, GLC will focus on a “New Generational Contract”: How can we foster intergenerational collaboration and fairness to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
