LEADERSHIP FOR FLOURISHING STREAM |

Reimagining leadership as inspiring human flourishing

The stream is series of inspirational talks, interactive workshops and panel discussions on the science and art of leading and flourishing for leaders from all sectors and in all roles, from CEO’s and board members to those in their first jobs. We believe everyone has the potential to improve the flourishing of those they work with and the people in our communities through small actions, that, when combined have a big impact.

‘Leadership for Flourishing’ is a collaboration between the Oxford Character Project, the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University, and Global Social Leaders. The Oxford Character Project is an interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Oxford, dedicated to the cultivation of character and responsible leadership. The Human Flourishing Program aims to study and promote human flourishing, and to develop systematic approaches to the synthesis of knowledge across disciplines.

CONTRIBUTORS OF THE GSL FESTIVAL @HOME

What is the the GSL Festival @home?

This years theme is Small Actions, Big Impact focusing on how we can create ripple effects of change and harness our passions to make the world a better place. On the 17th and 18th of June 2021, participants will experience a mixture of inspirational speakers, interactive workshops and a showcase of international student-led projects, to develop the confidence, leadership and global understanding that promotes social harmony.

The GSL Festival @Home is unique, interactive, and filled with inspiration. It celebrates youth voice and gives students and educators the tools to create transformational social change. We will be sharing how 2,300+ young people from 76 countries have been achieving the United Nation’s Global Goals and shining a spotlight on those that have gone above and beyond. We will celebrate and support youth led action.

What continues to be a globally challenging time a year into the Decade of Action, we will focus on how we can continue to build back better.

This festival is for young people, educators, parents and leaders. It’s for everyone that believes in the positive power of people to be leaders in their lives and society. Join us from your home, your school, your community, your office – and be part of the GSL movement

We will come together again as we build towards a brighter more sustainable future for all.

It is time to Think Globally, Act Socially and Start Now.
