Angus Hepburn, a 2nd yr MA Business Management student from the University of Aberdeen Business School, has travelled to the United Nations, Bangkok in Thailand to attend the 8th University Scholars Leadership Symposium, from the 1st of August to the 7th 2017.
The theme of the Symposium is “Building LIFE, Giving HOPE”. Over 900 emerging world leaders from the United Nations Member States are participating in this event which focuses on developing leaders to bring social change.
The USLS is a week-long Leadership Conference in Social Development for young leaders from all over the world. The purpose is to instil a sense of social responsibility as well as to cultivate the attributes of selfless giving among our emerging world leaders. The young participants will learn what it means to give back to the community and be challenged to respond to the needs of the marginalized with works of kindness and unconditional service. Delegates will have the opportunity to expand their professional network and understanding of world affairs. They will be motivated to use their knowledge and leadership skills to impact the communities in need.
