So this week, the other scholars and I had the opportunity to attend an event at BBC for The World Economic Forum in Geneva, Switzerland. And what an event it was. We were able to speak and listen to some of the most innovative minds Belfast has to offer. We learned about how the city council and how they wanted to improve Belfast and how another gentleman was giving kids affordable living conditions in the city center. Plus we were able to hear people pitch their business ideas to us and how they are hoping to improve Belfast themselves.

 

The event was unique because everything they were discussing and the ideas the crowd (myself and others) had were going to be broadcasted live to Davos for the forum. That to me was very cool. I have never been a part of something like that before and felt honored to be there. I really hope I am able to see what they broadcasted and how the ideas went that were pitched to them.
