 How and why do we work with Brazil, China and India...

The Prime Minister's Global Fellowship works to facilitate and deliver international and intercultural dialogue between young people from England and three of the most important countries in the new global economy; Brazil, China and India

 

The programme symbolises the need for the next generation to understand Britain's role on the global stage as well as acting as a platform for the skills, talent and enterprise needed by us all in the 21st century to lead the global economy.  It is essential that future business leaders and entrepreneurs, employees and students are able to seize the opportunities offered by dynamic and new but increasingly interdependent markets. 

 

They will be better able to do so if they have experience of the enterprise culture and competitiveness that is driving the success of the fast-growing economies in Asia and Latin America, by seeing first-hand what it takes to sustain economic growth and what skills are necessary in order to compete in a truly global labour market.
