Hanoi to host Global Leadership Activating Day 2013
(VOV) - The 2013 Global Leadership Activating Day (GLAD 2013), hosted by Hanoi Towers on October 13, is an opportunity for students to exchange perspectives with peers from other cultures and connect with issues of global concern.
GLAD is an annual event organised by the Hanoi University of Foreign Trade’s branch of AIESEC, the world's largest youth-run association.,
It is designed to motivate the next generation of social leaders to broaden their horizons and consider their responsibilities from a global point of view.
Nearly 1,000 outstanding students from universities in Hanoi are expected to participate, international students from around the world.
GLAD 2013 consists of keynote addresses, the Fishbowl, and the Global Village.
Students can speak with famous scholars such as FPT Strategic Director Nguyen Huu Thai Hoa, and Former FPT General Director Nguyen Thanh Nam, for insights into the realities of Vietnam’s socioeconomic situation and the challenges it will pose to future leaders.
The Fishbowl facilitates direct dialogues between students and scholars.
The Global Culture Village introduces Vietnamese students to working environments and cultural spaces of their international peers.
This is GLAD’s third Vietnamese iteration. Last year, the programme attracted more than 700 students.
