“Planet Leadership Series” is our first public education programme, where we convene leaders and elites from different industries to share their career journeys, stories and insights across disciplines to enlighten our community.
Art has always been an integral part of the holistic education at YCYW. This year, we are honoured to invite one of the senior management and the designer from POP MART, China's first publicly listed designer toy company, to join our teachers and students in exploring the fusion of modern trends and traditional art. We look forward to deepening our collaboration and sharing insights to infuse new vitality and creativity into art education.
About the Planet Leadership Series
Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) Education Network holds the belief that quality education extends beyond the confines of the classroom and thrives within the broader world and through open dialogue. In 2021, YCYW introduced a community event "Planet Leadership Series" with the objective of establishing a platform for the YCYW community to foster inspirational ideas, facilitate meaningful communication, and cultivate innovative perspectives by inviting distinguished individuals from diverse fields including education, culture, arts, science and technology, business, philanthropy, sports, and more.
In 2021, the first Planet Leadership Series welcomed Professor Yu Lizhong, the founding chancellor of New York University Shanghai (NYU Shanghai), a pioneering Sino-US- international research university in China. Professor Yu's presentation and sharing at Yew Wah Shanghai Lingang attracted a crowd of nearly 30,000. In 2022, Mr Vic Lee, co-founder of Tencent and founder of education philanthropy foundation, Catalyst Education Lab Foundation, shared his insights and expertise to tens of thousands of audience at the second Planet Leadership Series.
