The NYU Global Leadership Summit 2016: Taking Action on the European Refugee Crisis will be held in Prague from 21 – 24 May.

Global issues like the European Refugee Crisis demonstrate that the challenges of the 21st century are simply too large and complex to be solved by a select group of people. Our times call for a new approach to leadership – one that is ethical, inclusive, and collaborative. This is the challenge at the core of the Summit theme. A cohort of undergraduate students from across New York University’s campuses and global sites are invited to participate in weekend long, intensive leadership development program to rethink leadership as collective work and examine the European Refugee Crisis from a “systems” perspective. Summit participants will engage in peer-to-peer experiential learning workshops and learn from leadership development experts, as well as thought leaders, practitioners and policy makers.
