longstanding and relevant platform for cross-generational dialogue. By bringing together leaders of today and tomorrow on key questions of our time, we aim to inspire current decision-makers to lead with the next generation in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">More than <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/history\/\">50 years ago<\/a>, the St. Gallen Symposium was initiated by a group of students at the University of St.Gallen at a time of upheaval. Racial segregation in the US, the Vietnam War, and struggles to come to terms with the German past fuelled conflicts among generations. Today, in light of the climate crisis, rising inequalities, and rapid technological change, younger generations are again raising their voices as they reflect on the ways their futures are being compromised by current developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The St. Gallen Symposium aims to serve as the seismograph of the issues that divide and those that unite generations and as the key platform, where cross-generational dialogue fosters mutual understanding and joint action. We works towards our vision and mission by actively bringing together the key voices and concerns of all generations, through our annual main symposium each May at the University of St.Gallen, our year-round <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/ct_content_block\/year-round-formats\/\">dialogue initiatives<\/a>, as well as cutting-edge research and <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/publications\/\">publications <\/a>on next generation concerns and ways to renew the ties that bind generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">What makes us unique is the fact that the symposium is driven by the next generation itself: the <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/join-the-isc-team\/\">International Students&#8217; Committee (ISC) <\/a> is a group of around 30 students at the University of St.Gallen who pause their studies for a year to fully devote themselves to our initiative. Every year, they travel the world to engage in ca. 1300 cross-generational meetings with our more than 350 partners, recruit our <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/young-community\/\">Leaders of Tomorrow<\/a> who represent the next generation at our annual symposium, and engage in the communication, operations and digital innovation of our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The ISC is supported and strategically guided by the St. Gallen Foundation of International Studies, a team of <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/organisation\/#professionalemployees\">professionals <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/organisation\/#studentemployees\">student project managers<\/a> . Our <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/organisation\/#boardoftrustees\">Board of Trustees<\/a>  ensures the impactful use of our resources towards our mission. With this unique cross-generational set-up with our own organisation, the St. Gallen Symposium promotes dialogue across generations on the most <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.org\/annual-theme\/\">pressing issues of our time<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lead with thenext generation in mind The St. Gallen Symposium promotes cross-generational dialogue to foster mutual understanding and joint action.
