The first What Makes a Young Champion? event took place in Singapore on the eve of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games.

Thisyouth-focused forum explored championship from a youthful perspective. We explorde championship from a 21st century perspective and examined such questions as the role of the media in spotlighting champions, whether age matters, and what exactly drives a champion.

Our celebrity speakerswere youthful champions from around the globe who have demonstrated success in various fields. The young audience had the opportunity to listen, interact with, and be inspired by these champions.
