Work Groups

Work Groups are multicultural online discussion groups where Melton Fellows work throughout the year, to study and discuss issues of global as well as self interest. This year the free Work Groups spanned from October 2009 to February 2010, with discussion topics proposed by Fellows themselves, such as Society, Politics and Myths.

Starting from March 2010 the theme-related Work Groups will be launched, which will be facilitated by external Subject Matter Experts (e.g., faculty and Ph.D. students from Zhejiang University) and Senior Fellows of the Foundation. At the end of their intensive work on the subtopic, Fellows will present their learning and involve in follow-up sessions during the Symposium.

Please refer to Structure for a timeline of the theme-related Work Group for this year, and Sub-topics for a detailed definition of proposed theme-related discussion topics.
