2007 - February 25-27, 2007
On February 25-27, 2007 more than 800
high-achieving students and professionals from
over 100 countries will once again convene in
the United Arab Emirates in order to seek
Innovative Solutions to Global Challenges.
Building on the success of 2005 in which
representatives from 89 countries gathered to
discuss issues related to e-learning, Education
Without Borders 2007 promises to engage
exceptionally diverse participants in a unique
and collaborative forum featuring prominent
guest speakers, student presentations,
stimulating debates, interactive workshops and
Arabian cultural activities. We believe that by
bringing
together leaders of business, education, NGOs,
government, and technology from six continents,
we will create networks and innovations which
positively impact
communities and individuals around the globe for
years to come.
Organized by students for students, EWB is one
of the largest student-organized, humanitarian
conferences in the world.
While we encourage
attendees from any generation and background,
our Global Student Organizing Committee ensures
that the
event remains focused on harnessing the energy
and talent of the globe's young leaders for the
greater good. As participants ride camels across
windswept deserts, connect
with active global citizens, learn from
inspiring expert speakers, and work
collaboratively across all boundaries, we think
all will agree that EWB 2007 promises to be an
extraordinary and life-changing experience for
all who attend.
