Politicians, business leaders and students gather at the 43rd St Gallen Symposium

Peter Day attends the 43rd, annual St Gallen Symposium - a student organised gathering of business and political leaders - to hear about this year's theme: courage.

For 43 years the students of St Gallen University in Switzerland have organised an event bringing together a mix of international politicians and business leaders to interact with an international student population.  The goal of this academic endeavour is to discover some interesting life lessons and entrepreneurial stories which can inspire the next generation. Peter Day talks with a few of the programme’s participants about what their experiences can teach the students of today and leaders of the future.
