The Global Leadership social entrepreneurship fellowship program rewards young leaders from around the world who demonstrate innovative thinking and action in the area of social enterprise. The fellowship is sponsored by the World Economic Forum, which convenes each January in Davos and draws some of the top world leaders to discuss international affairs.

A group of Philadelphia area high school students got a unique opportunity to meet with Global Leadership fellowship recipients and discuss their ideas on the most important social issues in the world today. Topics discussed include global warming, public health and Middle East conflict. The purpose of the Global Leadership fellowship program is to develop the next generation of world leaders, and to give them the sorts of experience that will make them feel at ease in both the public and private sectors.
