Panel Session
Leadership in international humanitarian and charitable projects
Humanitarian and charity projects are the foundation for building trust-based, long-term relationships between individuals, communities, and nations.
The non-commercial nature of such aid, the openness of these relationships, and the genuine support of those involved in humanitarian and charity projects lay a strong foundation for joint action for many years to come.
The initiation and implementation of humanitarian and charity projects are shaping a new type of leader — individuals with a high level of agency, professionalism, and compassion
- Modern society develops unevenly. There is still much pain and inequality in the world. Some countries and peoples are entering the post-industrial era, while others are just approaching industrialization. This significantly affects their level of social development and creates the need for rapid "direct action" projects — to provide support, create opportunities, and deliver aid.
- Around the world, we continue to face social upheavals, environmental disasters, and other emergencies that require immediate consolidation of efforts and assistance from other countries and peoples.
The non-commercial nature of such aid, the openness of these relationships, and the genuine support of those involved in humanitarian and charity projects lay a strong foundation for joint action for many years to come.
