“THE YOUNG GLOBAL LEADER” |
|
“The Young Global Leader” Contest (YGLC) is a global motivational initiative to
inspire leadership amongst youth, started by scratchmysoul.com- it is the
world’s first people-oriented website. |
|
In scratchmysoul.com
each human being is mapped in terms of his footprints, weaknesses and strengths
apart from profession, location and name-features which are basic to all societies
and are secular. |
|
Youth form the bulk of the global energy force that can be harnessed to usher in
a positive change in the world. The YGLC contest aims to inspire a new level of
awareness and responsiveness in youth- so that they aspire to be creative, technologically
savvy, talented and ambitious, while having at the same time an evolved sense of
environmental sensitivity, social commitment and capacity to lead their entire generation
and shape the world into a better, happier and more peaceful place to live in.

and enthusiastic audience to cheer the candidates. The MC introduces

eminent jury on the following topics in the presence of the audience and the media.
