World Economic Forum
Dubai 7th - 9th November
Dame Tanni has been invited to join The Global Agenda Council for Sport and Society at the meeting of the World Economic Forum to be held in Dubai this weekend.
The World Economic Forum was founded in 1971 and is an independent, totally impartial, not-for-profit international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
The Forum recently set up Global Agenda Councils which are groups of the most innovative and relevant minds brought together for the purpose of advancing knowledge and exploring solutions to the most important issues in the global arena.
The agenda for the three-day summit, at which 700 participants will engage in interactive workshops and sessions, will be “examining the proposition that sport can be a powerful agent for change that should be leveraged by individuals, businesses, governments and elite athletes to drive significant positive development and progress in a social economic and political context”.
Other members of the Global Agenda Council for Sport and Society include Tegla Loroupe, the former Kenyan marathon runner, and Wilfred Lemke, special advisor to the United Nations Secretary General.
