On Thursday, June 17, Freie Universität Berlin’s international short-term study programs FU-BEST (European Studies) and FUBiS (International Summer and Winter University) will present an online panel discussion entitled "Young Globalization - The Role and Impact of Young Leaders in a Post-National World." The panel for this event features six representatives of the younger generation whose work, activism, and thinking touch on topics such as global governance, multilateralism, and the multifaceted role of the younger generation in international affairs.
It’s often said that "the world is a village." As this "village" moves into the future, what roles can and do younger generations play - through their professional careers, as activists, as community leaders, and as creative thinkers?
