Update from Davos (1)

Guildford 2009, WEF Davos 2009

Things have been busy since last Friday. The Guildford 60 (or, sadly, 58, due to Visa and passport troubles) have returned home - and the Davos 6 have been preparing hard for their six days in Switzerland.

Sarah, Charlie, James, Ohm, Meeran and Elsabe arrived in Monstein, a little village roughly 20 minutes away from the hubbub of Davos itself, on Tuesday afternoon. Since then they have been busy getting their World Economic Forum passes - a major undertaking, as the WEF is very picky about who is let inside the conference zone -, talking to journalists and CEOs, speaking to an audience at the Global Risk Forum... and getting used to the ice and snow at over 1500 metres over sea level.

The Six have big plans for tomorrow: at 4pm they will take part in the session Shaping the Post-World Crisis: Views from the Next Generation, alongside Kofi Annan and Riz Khan of Al-Jazeera. As soon as we have details on where and when this will be broadcast, we will put an update on this blog. Stay tuned for more information!
