Ethics in Business – CCS World Youth Forum 2008
A New Dimension to Leadership

10th – 14th November 2008
Hotel Mercure, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
European Parliament, Brussels, Belgium

The Ethics in Business – CCS World Youth Forum 2008 (WYF) creates an open platform for the youth (aged 18 to 35) to voice their message to the world's top decision makers in today's global economic and political environment, and to the world community at large!

An initiative of the International Association for Human Values, the WYF is part of the International Business & Leadership Symposium, an annual event which brings together prominent leaders in business, politics, religion and academia to consider ways and means of strengthening human values and ethics in business, and highlight new leadership styles that are profitable, yet sustainable.

The four pillars of the WYF are:

  • Identify and discuss urgent challenges in the global scenario, and define possible solutions.
  • Through the workshop on A New Dimension to Leadership, develop and strengthen the skills and capacities of the youth to take strong leadership in the world.
  • Provide opportunities to learn from successful leaders through interactive sessions with top business and political leaders.
  • Present the views of the youth to top world leaders during the session A Call of the Youth at the Conference on Ethics in Business – Corporate Culture & Spirituality (CCS) at the European Parliament.

The Youth are the Trustees of the World!

The 2nd Ethics in Business - CCS World Youth Forum is an extraordinary opportunity for 50 selected young professionals and students (aged 18 – 35). You can be one of them!
