Le GMAC lance le microsite chinois officiel de l’examen GMAT™

Le nouveau site Internet vise à mieux servir les étudiants potentiels de la région poursuivant un diplôme d’études supérieures dans le commerce

RESTON, Virginie, 26 mai 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), la plus grande association mondiale d’écoles de commerce, qui administre le Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), a annoncé aujourd’hui le lancement du site Web chinois officiel de l’examen GMATTM, GMAT.com.cn. En tant qu’examen le plus largement utilisé pour les admissions d’écoles supérieures de commerce et accepté par plus de 7 000 programmes supérieurs de commerce dans le monde, le GMAT est un outil d’évaluation de premier plan parmi les nombreux talents de la région de la Grande Chine depuis plus de six décennies.

Reconnaissant l’intérêt croissant pour l’enseignement supérieur en management, le GMAC a établi le microsite pour permettre aux étudiants potentiels de la région d’accéder plus facilement et de manière plus confortable à des informations précises, complètes et faisant autorité sur le GMAT et l’enseignement supérieur en management dans leur langue maternelle. Grâce au contenu localisé et ciblé, le site Web chinois du GMAT, ainsi que le compte WeChat officiel du GMAT qui a été mis en service plus tôt cette année, fournissent les plateformes numériques essentielles pour créer et renforcer la connexion entre les talents parlant chinois et les écoles de commerce les plus importantes à l’échelle mondiale dans la région et au-delà, et combler un déficit d’informations sur le marché.

« La Chine est devenue au fil des ans la deuxième plus grande région pour le GMAT, après seulement les États-Unis », a déclaré Sangeet Chowfla, président-directeur général du GMAC. « Alors que les vaccins deviennent de plus en plus disponibles et que l’espoir d’une reprise économique commence à prendre racine, nous nous attendons à observer un regain de mobilité et sommes impatients de voir davantage d’étudiants chinois commencer et reprendre leur parcours d’études supérieures de commerce dans leur propre pays ou à l’étranger, en bénéficiant des nouvelles plateformes en langue chinoise que nous proposons aujourd’hui. »

Selon le rapport d’enquête auprès des étudiants potentiels sur mba.com 2021 du GMAC publié en mars, le niveau de préoccupation concernant l’impact de la COVID-19 diminue au fil du temps. Plus précisément, la proportion de répondants chinois qui ont déclaré être extrêmement ou très préoccupés a chuté, passant de 71 % en juillet 2020 à 48 % en novembre. Le rapport a également révélé que les répondants chinois prévoyant de poursuivre un MBA en dehors de leur pays ne modifient pas leurs plans d’origine malgré la pandémie, 89 % prévoyant de poursuivre leur MBA aux États-Unis et 55 % au Royaume-Uni, ce qui fait de ces deux pays leurs principales destinations envisagées.

« L’intérêt et le désir des talents commerciaux chinois de poursuivre des études supérieures de management n’ont pas diminué, mais ont seulement été mis en suspens », a déclaré Yuan Ding, vice-président et doyen de la CEIBS et directeur du conseil d’administration du GMAC. « Le site Web chinois officiel du GMAT aidera à connecter les talents commerciaux chinois du monde entier avec les écoles de commerce mondiales et ne laissera aucun talent inexploré. »

Plus de sept millions de candidats à la recherche de masters en commerce ou de MBA ont visité le site mba.com ― portail phare d’informations et de ressources d’enseignement supérieur du GMAC ― pour explorer les choix d’écoles de commerce, se préparer et s’inscrire aux examens, et obtenir des conseils sur le processus d’admissions. Le GMAC est déterminé à soutenir les objectifs des étudiants potentiels chinois qui souhaitent se préparer et s’inscrire à l’examen GMAT.

GMAC lança Exame em Chinês no GMAT™ Microsite oficial

Novo site visa atender melhor os futuros alunos da região que buscam um diploma de pós-graduação em business

RESTON, Va., May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), principal associação global de faculdades de business e administradora do Graduate Management Admission Test™ (GMAT™), anunciou hoje o lançamento do exame em chinês no site GMATTM oficial GMAT.com.cn. Na qualidade de exame mais amplamente utilizado para admissões de pós-graduação em business aceito por mais de 7.000 programas de pós-graduação em business em todo o mundo, o GMAT tem sido uma ferramenta de avaliação líder entre o vasto conjunto de talentos na região da Grande China há mais de seis décadas.

Reconhecendo o crescente interesse na pós-graduação em educação de gestão (GME), o GMAC estabeleceu o microsite para que os futuros alunos da região possam acessar informações precisas, abrangentes e oficiais sobre GMAT e GME no seu idioma nativo, imediata e confortavelmente. Com um conteúdo localizado e direcionado, o site chinês do GMAT, juntamente com a conta oficial do WeChat do GMAT que entrou em operação no início deste ano, fornece as plataformas digitais essenciais para a criação e fortalecimento de uma conexão entre talentos da língua chinesa e as principais faculdades de business do mundo na região e além, e preencher uma lacuna de informação no mercado.

“A China cresceu ao longo dos anos até se tornar a segunda maior região do GMAT, depois apenas dos Estados Unidos”, disse Sangeet Chowfla, presidente e CEO do GMAC. “À medida que as vacinas se tornam mais amplamente disponíveis e a esperança de recuperação econômica começa a se enraizar, esperamos ver mais mobilidade e que mais estudantes chineses comecem e retornem à sua jornada de educação empresarial de pós-graduação no seu próprio país ou no exterior, se beneficiando das novas plataformas de língua chinesa que estamos oferecendo hoje.”

De acordo com o relatório mba.com Prospective Students Survey Report de 2021 do GMAC publicado em março, o nível de preocupação com o impacto da COVID-19 vem diminuindo ao longo do tempo. Especificamente, a proporção de entrevistados chineses que relataram estar extremamente ou muito preocupados caiu de 71% em julho de 2020 para 48% em novembro do ano passado. O relatório também revelou que os entrevistados chineses que planejam fazer um MBA fora do seu país não estão mudando seus planos, apesar da pandemia, com 89% planejando fazer seu MBA nos Estados Unidos e 55% no Reino Unido, tornando esses dois países os principais destinos a serem consideração.

“O interesse e o desejo dos talentos empresariais chineses em prosseguir com os estudos de pós-graduação em gestão não diminuíram, apenas foram colocados em espera”, disse Yuan Ding, vice-presidente e reitor do CEIBS e diretor do conselho do GMAC. “O site chinês oficial do GMAT irá ajudar na conexão de talentos empresariais chineses em todo o mundo com faculdades de business em todo o mundo, e não deixará nenhum talento de fora.”

Mais de 7 milhões de candidatos na sua jornada de mestrado em business ou MBA visitaram mba.com, principal portal de recursos e informações de educação do GMAC, para explorar as opções de faculdades de business, se preparar e se inscrever em exames, e obter conselhos sobre o processo de admissão. O GMAC está empenhado em apoiar as metas dos futuros alunos chineses que desejam se preparar e se inscrever no exame GMAT.

GMAC Launches Official GMAT™ Exam Chinese Microsite

New website aims to better serve prospective students from the region pursuing a graduate business degree

RESTON, Va., May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), the leading global association of business schools and administrator of the Graduate Management Admission Test™ (GMAT™), today announced the launch of the official GMATTM exam Chinese website, GMAT.com.cn. As the most widely used exam for graduate business school admissions and accepted by more than 7,000 graduate business programs worldwide, GMAT has been a leading assessment tool among the vast pool of talents in the greater China region for more than six decades.

Recognizing the growing interest in graduate management education (GME), GMAC established the microsite for prospective students from the region to access accurate, comprehensive, and authoritative information about the GMAT and GME in their native language more readily and comfortably. Through the localized and targeted content, the GMAT Chinese website, along with GMAT’s official WeChat account that went live earlier this year, provide the critical digital platforms to create and strengthen the connection between Chinese-speaking talents and the world’s leading business schools in the region and beyond, and filling an information gap in the market.

“China has over the years grown into the second largest region for GMAT, after only the United States,” said Sangeet Chowfla, president and CEO of GMAC. “As vaccines become more widely available and hope for economic recovery begins to take root, we expect to see more mobility and look forward to more Chinese students starting and returning to their journey of graduate business education in their own country or abroad, benefiting from the new Chinese-language platforms we are offering today.”

According to GMAC’s 2021 mba.com Prospective Students Survey Report published in March, the level of concern about the impact of COVID-19 has been declining over time. Specifically, the proportion of Chinese respondents reporting that they are extremely or very concerned has dropped from 71 percent in July 2020 to 48 percent in November last year. The report also found that the Chinese respondents planning to pursue an MBA outside their country are not changing their original plans despite the pandemic, with 89 percent planning to pursue their MBA in the United States and 55 percent in the United Kingdom, making these two countries their top destinations of consideration.

“The interest in and desire of Chinese business talents to pursue graduate management studies have not declined but only been put on hold,” said Yuan Ding, vice president and dean of CEIBS and a board director of GMAC. “The official GMAT Chinese website will help connect Chinese business talents all over the world with global business schools and leave no talents undiscovered.”

More than seven million candidates on their business master’s or MBA journey visited mba.com ― GMAC’s flagship graduate education resource and information portal ― to explore business school options, prepare and register for exams, and get advice on the admissions process. GMAC is committed to supporting the goals of Chinese prospective students who wish to prepare and register for the GMAT exam.

Sea Electric Extends Worldwide Presence With Increased Global Management Team and Strong Showing at Brisbane Truck Show

First Public Viewing of Full Range of SEA Electric-branded Trucks Sets Framework for Company’s Growth in Global Electrification

SEA Electric at 2021 Brisbane Truck Show

The first-ever public appearance of the SEA Electric full range of operational-ready trucks was displayed at the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show — with the entire suite ranging from 4.5-tonne car licence through to 22.5-tonne three-axle rigids.

LOS ANGELES, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The recent Brisbane Truck Show (May 13-16, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, South Brisbane, Australia) held a significant presence for global automotive technology company SEA Electric, showcasing the first-ever public appearance of a full range of operational-ready electric trucks utilizing proprietary SEA-Drive® power systems, new SEA Electric branding, and the announcement of senior global leadership taking the company’s helm throughout the Asia Pacific region.

The appointment of Bill Gillespie, president of Asia Pacific, and promotion of Glen Walker to vice president of Asia Pacific, bring a wealth of international transport industry and electric vehicle expertise to the region during a time of growth for SEA Electric worldwide. Following a recent US $42 million investment, SEA Electric is bringing electrification solutions and opportunities to nearly every corner of the globe, and in the United States it has added further assembly capacity, creating the current potential for approximately 60,000 units per annum. Further U.S. assembly, including in the area of batteries, is expected in the near future.

According to SEA Electric President and Founder Tony Fairweather, SEA Electric has not only created a low-cost delivery solution, but equally meaningful it has developed a medium voltage/lightweight power system with performance outcomes that exceed the internal combustion engine equivalent. “Our own SEA-badged trucks – including the SEA 300 and SEA 500 in Australia – are derived from OEM Semi Knock-Down kits, creating further efficiencies to pass on to our customer base whilst supporting rapid OEM expansion into this segment,” said Fairweather.

Gillespie’s new leadership role allows him to build upon the company’s momentum, which continues to expand on a worldwide basis. “The product showcased in Brisbane sets the framework for SEA Electric to seamlessly fold into OEM dealerships and fleets, bringing forth both new and repowered electrification options,” said Gillespie. The current three medium-size EV truck models are sold through a dozen authorized dealers in Australia, while more than 220 U.S. dealers are available to support the North American market needs.

SKD Assembly Provides Solutions Efficiency
Walker further explained the commercial arrangement as a Semi Knock Down (SKD) Assembly Operation – creating SKD ‘Glider’ kits – a first-of-its-kind three-way process that begins with the cab,

frame rails, wheels and axle components arriving in Australia, within containers from Japan, and upon arrival being assembled to provide a rolling chassis to support the appropriate proprietary SEA-Drive® power-system to create a completely assembled SEA Electric-branded vehicle. The vehicles are then ready for distribution.

But it is their SKD assembly operation’s efficiency that creates a real game-changer for SEA Electric and facilitates the solutions and productivity the company can provide. With consistency of assembly, and a process that provides multiple efficiencies, there becomes very little waste, often eliminating extra componentry that previously would have been discarded in other retrofitting processes.

“Our agreements in the U.S. go one step further,” said Walker. “We are utilizing SKD and local glider assembly to set the benchmark for ongoing programs in North America and other SEA Electric markets around the world.” As an example, when containers in the United States arrive for SKD assembly, all electrification is then performed by authorized upfitters, solely using SEA-Drive® power-system technology and branding. The process of building the trucks from SKD kits or glider chassis provides multiple advantages over the retrofit option, including lower cost, quicker build times, and less waste.

Bill Gillespie, President of SEA Electric Asia Pacific

Bill Gillespie joins SEA Electric as President, Asia Pacific, bringing a wealth of international transit industry and electric vehicle expertise to the region during a time of growth for SEA Electric worldwide.

The North American market, which recently became the new home for SEA Electric’s California-based headquarters, has the largest capability for upfitting capacity at 60,000 units annually. The addition of a Des Moines Technical Center and planned offices in Chicago, Brooklyn, and Miami before August this year represents SEA Electric’s commitment to the market.

With available volume and an ambitious capability to assemble the company’s SEA-Drive® technology, SEA Electric provides immediate and cost-efficient solutions that can be easily scaled to meet the needs for any fleet – whether new or existing delivery vehicles in need of new EV drive capabilities. The electrification of the yellow school bus industry is also in high demand in the United States.

Perhaps the most important business growth aspect of SKD kit and OEM glider assembly is the ability for the SEA Electric vehicle range to be available from a dealer network that provides complete sales, warranty, and service support.

SEA-Drive®

SEA Electric’s proprietary SEA-Drive® electrification technology adapts to a large range of OEM truck and commercial vehicle platforms and has been proven in the field with millions of real-driving miles to date.

SEA-Drive® Power-Systems
SEA Electric’s proprietary SEA-Drive® power-systems come in a variety of configurations for all-electric models with a GVM range of 4.5t through to 26t (i.e., 9,990 lbs. to 57,500 lbs. GVWR). Each are designed for 3,000 charge cycles based on a full overnight charge, if applied five days per week, and can result in optimum performance for 10 years.

The Brisbane Truck Show highlighted five new SEA-Electric-branded truck models, including the launch of the SEA 300-45 EV and the SEA 300-85 EV. Both models are fully ADR compliant and assembled in Melbourne for Australian distribution.

The Future for SEA Electric
While SEA Electric’s roots originate in Australia, along with various manufacturing and technology capabilities, the company’s North American growth brings a business model that can be replicated in Europe, as well. Current U.S. upfitting facility locations include Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Indiana, and California.

SEA Electric SEA M5 EV

The SEA M5 EV Vehicle chassis shown in this urban delivery truck utilizes SEA Electric’s proprietary SEA-Drive® powertrain platform for Class 5 vehicles. The unit carries a 5-year warranty on batteries and a system warranty of 3 years or 50,000 miles.

On the heels of its recent US $42 million equity financing announcement, SEA Electric also closed its latest purchase of 1,000 electric vehicle batteries from long-time technology partner Soundon New

Energy Technology. This important transaction supports SEA Electric’s proprietary SEA-Drive® 70, 100, and 120 major power-system models. While most of the initial units are slated for the United States, the balance will go to SEA Electric inventories in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, as well as the company’s first entry into the European market.

About SEA Electric
Global automotive technology company SEA Electric was founded in Australia in 2012, creating its proprietary electric power-system technology (known as SEA-Drive®) for the world’s urban delivery and distribution fleets, as well as front powered school bus applications.

Glen Walker, SEA Electric Vice President, Asia Pacific

As Vice President Asia Pacific for SEA Electric, Glen Walker leads the APAC operational activities for the company, with nearly two decades of experience within the automotive and transport sectors in Australia.

Widely recognized as a market leader in the electrification of commercial vehicles on a global basis, SEA Electric commands a global presence, deploying product in six countries including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia, and South Africa with collectively more than one million miles of independently OEM-tested and in-service international operation.

The company’s global sales, after-sales and engineering are represented in all subsidiaries, whilst North America, home to the company’s headquarters, has the largest upfitting capacity for SEA Electric at 60,000 units per year.

TRIBUNE : « La politisation des chaînes d’approvisionnement technologiques par les États-Unis est à la fois risquée et coûteuse »

PEKIN, 26 mai 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tom Fowdy est un analyste britannique en politique et relations internationales, diplômé des universités de Durham et d’Oxford. Il écrit sur des sujets relatifs à la Chine, la RPDC, le Royaume-Uni et les États-Unis. Pour plus d’informations, veuillez consulter le site : http://www.china.org.cn/opinion/TomFowdy.htm

Les articles d’opinion reflètent les opinions de leurs auteurs et pas nécessairement celles de China.org.cn.

En 2019, l’administration Trump a déclenché sa « guerre technologique » contre la Chine, dans le but de bloquer le développement de la Chine dans les secteurs de la haute technologie en empêchant les entreprises ciblées de se procurer des composants fabriqués aux États-Unis.

Au fur et à mesure que la Maison Blanche a renforcé son hostilité envers Beijing, elle a intensifié ses mesures. La cible la plus notable a été l’entreprise de télécommunications chinoise Huawei, qui a été placée pour la première fois sur la « Liste des entités » du département du Commerce, ce qui l’a placée sous contrôle des exportations. Plus tard, elle a également été soumise à la « règle du produit direct étranger », qui interdit unilatéralement aux entreprises étrangères qui utilisent des brevets américains dans leur propre production de semi-conducteurs d’approvisionner l’entreprise.

A staff member works at a workshop of a semiconductor company in Shanghai, east China, Feb. 10, 2020.

Même si le président Joe Biden a depuis pris ses fonctions, il n’a pas encore annulé ces décisions. Au lieu de cela, il a poursuivi une politique de « l’Amérique d’abord » en ce qui concerne les semi-conducteurs, dans le but de consolider le monopole américain dans ce secteur et de contrôler les « technologies du futur. »

Quelles ont été les conséquences de ces décisions ? En réalité, elles ont eu des effets négatifs pour les États-Unis et le monde en général.

La politisation agressive du secteur des semi-conducteurs à l’encontre de la deuxième plus grande économie du monde perturbe la chaîne d’approvisionnement mondiale, inversant la mondialisation et créant un effet de « localisation. »

La Chine a massivement augmenté ses investissements dans ses capacités en matière de semi-conducteurs à l’échelle de toute la société, tandis que les États-Unis ont créé des risques politiques pour les entreprises technologiques qui dépendent de leurs approvisionnements. Au niveau organisationnel, les entreprises ont acheté en gros des équipements de fabrication de semi-conducteurs et de lithographie aux Pays-Bas, au Japon et en Corée du Sud, ainsi que des semi-conducteurs en panique pour se prémunir contre d’éventuelles restrictions futures. Les entreprises ont perdu confiance dans les fournisseurs traditionnels.

Cette incertitude a créé une pénurie mondiale de semi-conducteurs, ce qui entraîne des risques pour l’économie mondiale. Cette pénurie a causé des retards dans la fabrication et la fourniture de biens de consommation électroniques et d’automobiles, ce qui a contraint de nombreuses usines dans le monde à reporter la production et à licencier des travailleurs. Par exemple, l’usine Nissan de Sunderland, au Royaume-Uni, a dû ralentir sa production pendant trois semaines en raison d’un manque de semi-conducteurs. Une autre conséquence a été la croissance de l’inflation, qui a sans aucun doute contribué à la hausse inattendue de l’indice des prix à la consommation aux États-Unis, ce qui a secoué les marchés mondiaux la semaine dernière.

Ces résultats négatifs montrent que l’armement des chaînes d’approvisionnement en technologie contre la Chine n’améliorera pas la situation des États-Unis. Les chaînes d’approvisionnement localisées sont plus coûteuses et feront perdre aux États-Unis des parts de marché considérables à mesure que Beijing développera sa propre industrie. Cette année, la Chine commencera à produire des nœuds de 7 nanomètres et stoppera rapidement sa dépendance à l’égard des nœuds inférieurs, la société Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) ayant investi dans une fonderie de puces de 2,35 milliards de dollars à Shenzhen, destinée à produire des circuits intégrés de 28 nm. Cela a permis à des entreprises telles que Huawei de continuer à développer leurs réseaux 5G malgré les sanctions américaines.

En Chine, les investissements publics dans le secteur se sont déjà élevés à 150 milliards de dollars, tandis que les investissements prévus pour la période du 14e Plan quinquennal (2021-2025) s’élèvent à 1000 milliards de dollars. Bien que cela soit considéré comme une nécessité politique, rares sont ceux qui contestent le fait qu’une industrie mondiale ouverte reste préférentielle. Les grandes entreprises étrangères de semi-conducteurs cherchent toujours à être compétitives sur le marché chinois des semi-conducteurs en raison de la croissance de son économie et de l’augmentation de la demande, ce qui montre les dangers d’un bouleversement de ce marché.

Dans ce cas, il convient de noter qu’une chose est certaine en ce qui concerne la politique américaine actuelle : la militarisation des semi-conducteurs crée une situation « perdant-perdant », divisant une industrie mondiale en sphères localisées, créant un marché fracturé et augmentant les prix. Cela dit, elle ne bloquera pas pour autant les avancées technologiques de la Chine.

Pour toutes les parties concernées, il s’agit d’une voie coûteuse et imprévisible dont les effets se répercutent jusqu’au consommateur ordinaire.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dubai Cares, Expo 2020 Dubai and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation (MoFAIC) have come together to launch Dignified Storytelling, an initiative with an aim of creating an ecosystem that fosters a shared understanding and practice of storytelling that maintains and upholds the dignity of all persons and contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Today, thousands of stories are being told regardless of who tells them and how they are told. Many of these stories lack authenticity, transparency, or are driven by ulterior motives which serve a predetermined narrative. These are just some of the few obstacles that get in the way of honest, wholesome and dignified storytelling within development and humanitarian contexts. In order for a piece – be it visual, written or spoken – to reach an audience, it goes through a long process of filtration, revising and editing that sometimes alters the original content and makes it almost fictional. This in turn, ends up painting the wrong picture of the contributors who oftentimes are not aware of where their stories, visual or written, will be displayed and to what purpose will they be used.

Dignified Storytelling was born out of the need to unite the voices of content makers, editors, journalists, photographers, filmmakers, storytellers, and contributors and equip them with the awareness and hands-on knowledge that will enable them to capture moments and tell stories without compromising human dignity. In order to fulfill this need, Dignified Storytelling kickstarted global consultations a year ago, to solicit cross-sectoral perspectives on storytelling within development and humanitarian contexts, as well as set and agree on the Dignified Storytelling Principles that today serve as guidance and an advocacy tool for bringing together various stakeholders from around the world to form a global movement that will be a game changer in maintaining and promoting human dignity through storytelling.

These foundational principles are also guiding the consultative development of an accessible and practical Dignified Storytelling Handbook which provides ‘how-to’ guidance and concrete best practice case studies. Cross-sectoral perspectives and insights from a diverse group of storytellers and experienced stakeholders from governments, UN agencies, international and local NGOs, and civil society are currently informing this valuable framework and resource.

To truly embed Dignified Storytelling in the day-to-day policies and practices among international development agencies and various storytellers within the development and humanitarian sectors, Dubai Cares, Expo 2020 Dubai and UAE MoFAIC have established a Dignified Storytelling Alliance. The Alliance is a network of champions that provides advocacy, in-kind support, and input on program deliverables. Representation in the Alliance includes a deliberately diverse range of viewpoints from organizations, individuals and governments who are able to share best practices from their on-the-ground experiences within a range of development contexts.

Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director General, Expo 2020 Dubai, remarked: “At a time when it is needed most, Expo 2020 will bring the world together in a spirit of hope and optimism, building bridges and inspiring action towards a brighter future for us all. This will be the ideal setting for strengthening Dignified Storytelling as we join our resources to reinforce the highest standards and increase the impact of those stories we choose to share with the world. The initiative also reflects the UAE’s commitment to advancing responsible storytelling for the greater good of humankind, and its central role in international humanitarian and development efforts more widely.”

Stressing on the importance of storytelling in the development context, Dr. Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer at Dubai Cares and Member of its Board of Directors, said: “Storytelling is a powerful communication tool in both development and humanitarian settings. Stories, both visual and written, provide an avenue for understanding different perspectives and can be an impetus for action. This is why it is important for us as a global community to tackle irresponsible storytelling, a practice that has been left unaddressed for far too long, which I believe is rooted in the absence of widely available and comprehensive guidance on how to best tell stories that maintain the dignity of all persons. I invite all storytellers, governments, agencies, and civil society to join us in this effort to instill an understanding and practice of storytelling that brings us together and reminds us of our shared humanity.”

The initiative will include the Dignified Storytelling Forum, taking place at Expo 2020 Dubai on 10 December 2021 as part of the six-month mega-event. The Forum will serve as a powerful platform for key stakeholders – including members of civil society organizations, governments, the private sector, and international agencies as well as advocates, activists, and storytellers – to come together and collectively agree on a way forward in validating, adopting and integrating the Dignified Storytelling Principles. This will be achieved through a series of plenaries and an exhibition showcasing best practices in Dignified Storytelling, as well as side events including a press conference.

The Forum is part of Expo 2020’s rich calendar of specialist programming, which reflects and celebrates the spirit of Dignified Storytelling all throughout. Encompassing cultural, social, economic, environmental and UAE-based themes, the program series has been curated in close collaboration with UAE entities, International Participants, Non-Official Participants, International Organisations and Commercial Partners and and seeks to garner solidarity around global challenges, spotlight areas of mutual interest and importance, and ensure the emergence of a meaningful legacy at the national, regional and international level.

Over the longer-term, Dignified Storytelling will create an environment of positivity that strengthens long-term relationships between the public, private, development and humanitarian sectors by placing dignified and ethical storytelling at the epicenter of knowledge sharing, stakeholder engagement, and capacity development to inspire and inform storytellers. To achieve this, the UAE calls on global stakeholders and partners to become advocates for this pivotal initiative by pledging towards the ten principles of Dignified Storytelling.
