(Keynote speech: Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Prof.Muhammad Yunus)
Social business symposium by APU Research Center for Muslim Affairs
Event theme:The role of university in the next generation & empowering youth to be social entrepreneurs.
The world-renowned Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Muhammad Yunus, has been invited to give the keynote speech at the symposium.
In addition to learning and spreading the knowledge of microcredit and social business that Dr. Yunus advocates, we will also discuss the so-called "3zero", a society that can achieve the three zeros of zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero CO2 emissions that he advocates. The main purpose of this event is to provide students, faculty, and staff of the university with an opportunity to learn about international social issues by introducing the efforts made by various organizations in relation to achieving "3zero," a society where the three zeros of zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero CO2 emissions are realized.
