Future-Proofing the Next Generation: Geopolitical Foresight and Security

#54SGS #ShiftingGlobalPower Speakers Lynn Kuok Lee Kuan Yew Chair in Southeast Asia Studies, Brookings Institution Florence Gaub Driector, NATO Defense College Prof. Nikolaus Lang Global Leader, BCG Henderson Institute Kristina Kallas Minister of Education and Research, Republic of Estonia As global power shifts and security risks evolve, the next generation must be prepared to navigate a world of growing complexity and uncertainty. This session asks not only what we expect to happen—but what could. From conventional conflicts to digital threats and geopolitical flashpoints still over the horizon, we explore how the understanding of diplomacy, conflict, and governance must adapt. How do we foster geopolitical literacy and strategic thinking in young people today? And what tools—educational, institutional, and cultural—are needed to equip them to lead and secure a more resilient future?

GALLEN SYMPOSIUM The St. Gallen Symposium is the world’s leading initiative for intergenerational debates on economic, political and social developments. The symposium takes place annually in May at the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland. The St. Gallen Symposium is annually organised by the International Students’ Committee (ISC), an independent student initiative at the University of St.Gallen. For ten months, a team of approximately 30 students voluntarily engages in the challenging task of organising an outstanding St. Gallen Symposium. During the symposium week, the ISC Team is supported by about 450 student volunteers. Three members of last year’s team are taking up the role of Head of the Organising Committee.
