More often than not, our economy-founded countries try to find new or more resources wherever possible. We design our lives to cope with great aspirations and seek for the most profitable business deals or to be hired by the gold-paying multinational. However, we cannot seem to find our way through this globalized world, and as time elapses, nothing seems to meet up to our expectations and our dreams vanish into thin air as we settle with an ordinary job at some local company. All the time, we seem blind to the possibility of taking something of our own knowledge and experience and for once playing the role we want to. Each from its own place and with its own dreams is capable of reaching whatever he or she wishes to. We must not set a limit to what has none, the human mind.

We invite you all to participate in the 38 th St. Gallen Symposium, which is held from the 15-17 May 2008 at the University of St. Gallen. Every year, the International Students’ Committee (ISC) offers university students throughout the world the unique opportunity to take part in the St. Gallen Symposium. Students enter into a challenging exchange of ideas with today’s global leaders about the pressing economic and societal questions of our time.
The closing date is 2 February 2008. Up to this date, talented students from all over the world are invited to hand in their contribution, dealing with the main topic of this year “Global Capitalism – Local Values”. The authors of the 200 best entries will be invited to Switzerland to add their own perspective to the St Gallen Symposium – in the company of 600 entrepreneurs, top managers, politicians and scientists from more than 60 nations. The travel expenses, costs for nutrition and accommodation will be covered by the organization.

The registration period for the fourth edition of the SABF has started, that is why we invite all students to participate in this unique experience in South America.
The event will take place on August 8th, 9th and 10th in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is aimed at all undergraduate students, having completed their secondary education, or students who graduated in 2007 or 2008. The topic of the 2008 SABF, “Empowering Agents of Change”, pretends to analyze the existing change agents in the world and particularly those which have become blurred in South America, with the objective of finding out the causes of their lack of involvement and finding solutions to achieve their goals.
During the three-day conference, students will be able to interact with peers from around the world, as well as with prominent leaders of the academic, business and political spheres, debating about several current issues related to our region. It is, furthermore, a unique experience in which the cultural exchange that is generated adds to the personal and professional development of the participants.
