World Youth Economic Forum in Shanghai this Summer!

PLEASE CONTACT LI ZHANG IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE OPPORTUNITY BELOW.

Greetings from Shanghai!

By quick way of introduction, my name is Carlos A. Patino, International School Manager at ASDAN China. ASDAN is a UK based charity which has focused on skill-based education for over 35 years. ASDAN China and the Global Undergraduate Economic Forum, a Yale University economic think-tank have partnered to host The World Youth Economic Forum.

This email intends to invite high-achieving, ambitious high school students to attend the World Youth Economic Forum (WYEF) in Shanghai this upcoming August. I hope you can consider sharing this information with teachers that have students interested in debate, economics, and multi-cultural communication while exploringChina.

The WYEF is an economic debating conference inspired by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and hosted by members of GUEF. The Forum will consist of 13 economic committees, where students will debate issues of international significance under the central theme "The Puzzle of Global Economic Transformation: Uncovering the Missing Pieces.". Students will be required to demonstrate their passion for debating and economics as they aim to solve some of the world’s biggest economic problems, just like in the WEF annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. This Forum will culminate in the creation of proposals and task forces addressed to global change makers, of which the best will be implemented.
