Welcome to the
Pacific Century Forum
Our Mission
Initiating Conversations and Developing Future Leaders
Pacific Century Forum aims to create dialogue between teenagers of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds as well as educating students about all the different countries and addressing the challenges they face around the Pacific region. Ultimately, exposing young people to this environment and education leads to peaceful resolutions of international issues in the future.
FORUMS
Past & Future Events
Pacific Century Forum has been actively finding guest speakers and getting new members to join. We have had an extremely successful forum in Shanghai and in Toronto. We are currently looking forward to our next forum in Monterey, California happening in the spring. We have members from 5 continents and 6 cities and we hope to hold forums at all of them.
SHANGHAI FORUM
In Shanghai, PCF held our first forum, involving more than twenty students and three guest speakers, all from different cultural backgrounds. Our theme for the forum was cross-cultural business. We asked questions and received insightful advice on how to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. This forum was a great success and was live streamed to students in London, Taiwan, Korea New York and San Francisco.
Interview at Consulate General of Japan, Shanghai
We reached out to Consul General Katayama Kazuyuki in search of learning more about Japanese education and their student culture. We have learned that not only do China and Japan have the similar learning systems, but their students undergo just as much stress as the Chinese when it comes to highschool and University applications.
Toronto Forum
After the success of the Shanghai Forum and interview, we began to plan another bigger and more exciting forum in Toronto, Canada. After getting the head of the Asian studies department at Harvard and two others to talk about foreign trade, we got even more participation than anticipated, making our second forum a success.
What is the PCF?
The PCF is an international club founded and led by students. Having its origins rooted in the heart of Shanghai, it was sparked by a group of motivated teenagers from multicultural backgrounds who came together wanting to make a difference. We realized that our generation will soon be inheriting this world, and it is our job as young people to come together from all over the world to make connections while learning about world issues.
