RECEPTION TO LAUNCH THE MARYAM FORUM

MOIN COLLABORATION WITH MEDIA PARTNERS THE NEW YORK TIMES, CAIXIN MEDIA AND CONTENT PARTNER KITE INSIGHTS.

Humanity today faces multiple, urgent and complex challenges on an unprecedented  scale. From climate change and oceans, to  global growth, financial architecture, human mobility and disinformation. Courageous leadership is needed to navigate this  disrupted landscape.Yet, the world is increasingly characterised by divergent national interests, regressive power structures, mismanagement of policy  and corruption at the national level. Mass protests are emerging everywhere—in Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East —expressing frustration with incumbent rulers and desire for genuine, inclusive leadership. But where are the leaders equipped to guide this transformation from rulership to leadership? Please join us at the occasion of the World Economic Forum in Davos to discuss these issues and celebrate the launch of the Maryam Forum, which aims to foster the emergence of just and collaborative leadership. Drawing on the creativity of LSE students and faculty the Forum wants to create an ecosystem that nurtures meritocracy, accountability and inclusion. Through capacity building and peer to peer exchange it will connect students with global policy and business leaders.
