This program brings together promising young professionals from a variety of industries—academic, civil, governmental, non-governmental, private, etc—to plan ahead for the year 2030 in planning solutions to key global challenges. This program will invite twenty-seven fellows from Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Africa, and the United States to focus on futures of global order, migration, refugee crises, and the role of cities in global governance.
The program will consist of four dialogue sessions of five to eight days each, that will take place in Washington DC, New Delhi, Sao Paulo, and Paris-Berlin. Exact dates of each session will be announced closer to the session. Between sessions, each fellow will be expected to contribute an average of eight hours each to advance the writing of the final working group essay.
At each session, fellows will engage in riveting discussions within their working groups. They will meet with experts, policymakers and business leaders from each host country. They will also receive training in methodology and engage in problem-solving sessions to determine possible solutions to global challenges. Fellows will publish the results of their studies in a series of products including presentations, essays, commentaries, podcasts, and interviews.
