Features of the School
Summer School for Global Leadership (The Summer School) is a 10-DAY intensive summer education programme on the theme of “Smart City”. The rapid global development of technology is digitalizing our living including energy, water, waste, transportation, social and economic inclusion, governance, citizen participation. The Summer School empowers students to rethink our city, to take into account the voices of different stakeholders, and to become leaders who can build solutions to global problems with empathy and passion.
The Summer School aims to create a culturally diverse learning environment for the participants and therefore to present them the best learning experience. Last year, we have students from 13 countries/regions. It offers a unique curriculum combining “Exclusive Visits” to corporates, start-ups and the community, and “Interactive Workshops” that address a range of global issues. This year, Global Guest Trainers from Canada, Kenya, Taiwan, the US and various regions or countries will be invited to share with participants their stories to change the world.
