Join us for a lively and informative discussion on the challenges and opportunities that face youth in Beijing. This event does not hope to generalise but more to better understand millenials coming of ages as China comes into power. 

Our presenters will touch upon the range of different ideals that young Chinese people aspire towards, the context in which the 1990s generation have grown up in and present future pathways for young people wanting to establish themselves in this fast-changing environment.
