general in Section B: SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY PLAN.
For example, an event could be an expert seminar on a certain topic, followed by an interactive
workshop and a small reception/coffee mingle afterwards. It could be a series of events, approaching a
set of questions from different perspectives. The purpose of the events is to strengthen platforms for
professional networking, to start up mentorships, and to highlight experiences of relevance to the topics
discussed.
Seminars/workshops within the following thematic areas will have priority:
- Innovation, creativity, CSR and entrepreneurship
- Modern leadership and management skills
- Employment and career development
- Leadership, management and networking
- Sustainable development
- ICT and e-solutions
- Democracy and human rights issues
Please note that the events cannot be targeted to a specific country or region in the world. It must
follow the aim of the SI Network for Future Global Leaders: to focus on themes such as innovation,
sustainability, democracy, human rights, society, creativity and culture, in order to create mutual
