PROGRAM
Salzburg Global Seminar | Program 2015
Foreword
People and Power
2015 is packed with symbolic anniversaries and landmark events. Towering above
them is the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the cornerstone of efforts across
the centuries and around the world to enshrine the rule of law and protection of
individual rights at the heart of human society.
These fundamental principles of freedom and justice underpin the mission of
Salzburg Global Seminar, which has worked for nearly seventy years to challenge
present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. They will resonate
worldwide with the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations, and for our
regional partners as Indonesia celebrates seventy years of independence, Singapore
marks fifty years since its creation, and thirty-five states commemorate signing the
Helsinki Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Yet on
a darker note, man’s persistent inhumanity to man will also be remembered upon
the centenary of the Armenian genocide, the seventieth anniversary of the liberation
of Auschwitz, the fortieth of the Cambodian genocide, and the twentieth since the
Srebrenica massacres.
Salzburg Global was founded by young optimists amidst post-war chaos and
destruction. Looking forward, we believe that lessons from the past can and must
inspire courage, commitment and vision for a better future. 2015 will be a test
year for the international community, regional organizations and nation states if
negotiations are to succeed for new Sustainable Development Goals and a binding
agreement on climate change. Many Fellows in our Salzburg Global Network
spanning 160 countries, and many of our partner institutions across the world, are
playing pivotal roles to this end.
Across sectors and scales, we are witnessing radical shake-ups in the relationships
between individuals, systems and states. Salzburg Global’s programs on education
and social investment, neuroscience, global finance, health and big data, amongst
other topics, are designed to help key institutions and individuals understand these
shifts, see the art of the possible and accelerate change.

education at colleges and universities. Key questions to be addressed include:
• What role do colleges and universities have in preparing their students as leaders
in the 21st century?
• What knowledge, skills, and values do students need to be active global citizens?
• What are the most effective ways of teaching and learning for global citizenship?
• How can those committed to global education learn from and support one

• How do news media affect our understanding of identity, culture, politics, and

• How can we use media to better cover global problems and better report on

• How can media literacy make students more engaged and active participants
