Today, the world we live in is one where mankind's technological prowess is at its peak, and as each day goes by, dreams of the future become the realities of today. In this race, to live the future today, one crucial part of humanity has been left lagging behind: society. Today, it is possible for a scientist to write a sentence on something as small as a bacterium. And yet, we are in a world, where millions of people today are still unable to write to put pen to paper and write their own names. This is just one example. Inequality, poverty, pollution. These are words which are increasingly becoming the descriptors of our age, for all its advances. However, slowly, but surely, a realisation is dawning on mankind that there is an increasing need to unite the advancement in technology with the development of all facets of society. And as responsible citizens of today, and leaders of tomorrow, it is our responsibility to stand up, and do what we can to help build a better future. The participants will be encouraged to discuss, debate and collaborate amongst themselves, to fully appreciate the complexity of the problems posing as obstacles to balanced advancement. At Symposium, everyone is a winner. Not only will they will take home a substantial reward, but also a priceless perspective makeover. Step up to the challenge. DO your bit to help change the world. Join us, at Symposium 2011. Inspire the future.
