Previously, building towards this final video, our series explored questions relating to the topic of “global development”, such as:
- What do you think of when you hear the word “development”?
- What are the goals and focuses for your governments in promoting development? What are the challenges?
- What are some of the good practices and examples of local or global development? What are your ideas?
With all these development challenges and issues impacting future generations, I asked young people from around the world:
- What is “global” in “global development” and why is it so important? For example, how is it different from international development?
- What are the roles of young people today? And what leadership is required from young people to promote “global development”?
In the end, I also summarized the leadership types with a word cloud; plus, I shared my thoughts and reflections of the 4-part video series.
Special thanks to all youth participants during the weekend informal discussions, Tsinghua University, and the Global MOOC and Online Education Alliance (GMA)‘s Global Hybrid Classroom course: “China’s Perspective on Global Development Initiative” (you can rewatch the lecture playback at https://www.xuetangx.com/course/THU00001007670/12393016).
One more thing. Let me share this interesting exchange that happened between two participants from Latin America. Very fascinating. You don’t want to miss this.
