WYN Dialogue – Thriving Amid Disruptions
Online
3.45pm - 5.30pm
15 December 2022
Leadership roles are no longer decided by age but rather the experience and ability to adapt to a world of disruption in which we live. Operating in a twenty-first century society essentially depends on being tech savvy and requires contemporary leadership for the wealth of energy, knowledge, fresh perspectives and out of the box ideas. Today, more than ever, many young people are leading global businesses and implementing policies relevant to the times while governing countries.
It is time to hear of their challenges, success stories and how societies are benefitting from this leadership revolution. This dialogue is a platform for an in-depth exchange of stories, views and innovative solutions to issues that specifically affect the development of young people in terms of leadership, entrepreneurship and employment. Most of all, WYN Dialogue is a space where brilliant ideas from astute minds can influence and inspire through the simple approach of storytelling.

Malacca is one of 14 states of Malaysia, located in south western coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The state of Malacca is a well-known historical tourist destination with its multicultural heritage preservation of valuable colonial buildings, squares, and churches left by the Portuguese, Dutch and British since the 15th century. The effort to preserve the state heritage has paid greatly with the recognition of Melaka as a World Heritage City in 2008 by UNESCO, transforming the city to a domestic and international tourists’ hub, registering the highest number of 15.7 million visitors in 2015. Tourism alone contributes 46.6% of the state’s GDP.
With the theme “Unlocking the Business of Heritage and Culture”, the WIEF Young Fellows 2017 will focus on case studies of heritage businesses, and how cultural capital can be used to unlock business potential.
