DDA’s Rose Oliver Introduces Traditional Chinese Culture & Health Systems to World Economic Forum’s Global Leadership Fellows Young Executive Programme

World Economic Forum

DDA were again invited by the World Economic Forum in Switzerland to deliver sessions for their Global Leadership Fellows Institute (GLF) Global Leadership Fellows Programme.

The programme for young executives centres on exploring business development, how global markets can engage in China, as well as exploring aspects of traditional Chinese culture, business development, social life, plus health and wellness in China.

Discussing Taiji Theory

Zoom Workshop 2021

This year’s Global Leaders Fellowship programme was held over Zoom, due to the continued impact of Covid and the closure of China’s borders.

Chinese Culture Workshops

Previously DDA had been honoured to work with everyone at the Forum on their GLF programme in Shanghai, but this year were excited to again be part of the health and wellness portion of the programme and introduce elements of Chinese culture, philosophy and healthy living practices.

Taiji Sessions

Rose conducted a series of workshops over the three-day period, first introducing key concepts of Chinese culture and philosophy, and culminating with two Taiji sessions and a fun Taiji competition, where the group of 18 young executives partnered up to see who could give the most authentic rendition of the Yang Style Taiji form they’d learned.

Wonderful Group

They were a wonderful group of young executives, full of creativity, innovation and spirit; and it was a pleasure to work again with our colleagues from the Global Economic Forum!

Looking to 2022

Another wonderful event with the World Economic Forum’s young leaders; we’re looking forward to seeing everyone again in person for the 2022 programme sessions in Shanghai!
