The Global Fellowship Program was launched for young people to gain an understanding of what it will take to compete in, and contribute to the new global economy. We interviewed four young students who visited Brazil, India and China as a part of this programme, wherein they went to a local school, lived with local host parents and worked with a multinational organisation. Salim visited Brazil as a Global Fellow. While living, studying and working there he realised how one must be a global citizen of the world. Having worked with Cadbury’s in Brazil, he reemphasised the importance of competing with a global world, and how one must possess the social skills to live in this globalised world.

Andreas is from Trinity school, Croydon, and worked through EiA with Wizz kids, a charity that helps disabled children. He headed his team in a project to develop a marketing scheme that would put Wizz kids in the public eye, and in the process discovered that everyone is talented. He also feels that it is important for business and society to co-exist, being corporate and social citizens to mutually benefit each other and be sustainable.

There, he discovered that everyone in the project found a place to fit into, which reinforces the fact that everyone is talented. Talent is not only about good grades but about developing the social skills required for the workplace in the global world.
