open forum/1

Open Forum: Mental Health – The Last Taboo?Winston Churchill suffered from depression, famously calling it “the black dog”. He is still an exception among leaders to admit having mental health issues. Depression, burn-out or anxieties are seen by many as a weakness, not the least the individuals dealing with it. Mental health issues are a condition that one in four people will suffer from in their lifetime. Can we afford to leave this taboo in place any longer?

- What are the latest scientific breakthroughs in mental health?- What can employers, colleagues and parents do to detect early warning signs, and how can they help?- What can be done to lift the taboo on mental health?

open forum/2

Open Forum: Higher Education – Investment or Waste?Benjamin Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." Yet today, the US has a trillion dollar student loan bubble and the graduate unemployment rate has reached a staggering 14%. With over 285,000 university graduates working at minimum wage in the US, many students are faced with buyer's remorse. Is it time to reconsider whether a college degree is worth the investment?

- What is the impact of Massive Open Online Courses on traditional higher education?- Will Generation Y youth be better or worse off than their parents? What are the implications?

Open Forum: Immigration – Welcome or Not?For over 200 million people, migrating to a foreign land represents the hope of a better life and valuable career experience. While viewed by some as an opportunity for development and a healthy source of skills on the job market, many people are concerned with irregular flows of migrants, the cost of integration and potential increase in criminal activity. With European migration on the rise, should governments improve their integration policies or impose barriers to entry?

- What best practices can assist countries to improve management of migration flows?- How have countries leveraged immigration for development?- What are the implications of stricter regulations vs integration policies?
