From November 22nd to 25th, 2018, the 4th Global Student Leadership Forum, hosted by Glasgow College, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), was held at Qingshuihe Campus of the University of Electronic Science and Technology. Led by Dr. Wang Bing, Gong Yuanhao, Zhou Zeyu, Sun Yutong, He Mukun, Wang Fengchao, Bao Yijiang and Yuan Chuhan represented Queen Mary University of London Engineering School, Northwestern Polytechnical University (QMES) to participate in the Forum.

On November 22nd, a delegation from QMES visited Glasgow College, UESTC and Sichuan University – Pittsburgh Institute. On the morning of November 23, the 4th Global Student Leadership Forum officially began at the Student Activity Center of Qingshuihe Campus of UESTC. In the student team sharing session, 18 delegations from all over China gave a presentation on the theme “International Organizations and Youth Leaders---Multiplication Stage”. The representatives of QMES gave the presentation by Zhou Zeyu, Wang Fengchao, Bao Yijiang and Yuan Chuhan.

Other delegations also shared their views on the theme of the conference. Student representatives of every college expressed their opinions and viewpoints, and also benefited a lot from the communication at the same time.

In the following activities, each representative was randomly grouped, discussed and debated on four issues: The influence of leadership decentralization on team cohesion, advantages and disadvantages of a flat organizational structure after decentralization, what attitude young leaders should take when they face an increasingly diverse arena and the impact of International Youth Programs on leadership development of young leaders.

The organization of the Forum has established a platform for exchanges and exhibitions for students of Chinese-foreign cooperation institutions. In the communication, students broadened their horizons, gained friendship, enriched their experience, and learned from each other.

As the first Sino-foreign cooperative education institution to settle in Northwest China, our delegation had shown their excellence and uniqueness. Students were more determined to continuously improve their abilities, strive to be active in the international arena, and build the confidence and determination to be a young leader.
