DAVOS Jan 25 (TNS): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai are participating in a panel discussion on creating a shared future through education and empowerment.

The discussion is focusing on value of diversity and equal opportunities for all, ensuring equal access to education for both girls and boys and developing skills for the future of work.

Talking about the way the Canadian House of Commons is structured, the Canadian prime minister pointed out that they earlier found it difficult to bring women into active politics; but now for the first time that a sitting minister would be having a baby in office.

Fabiola Gianto, Director General from CERN pointed out that it was absolutely natural for her to sit at a table with people who have a different passport than me, because I am used to working with people from all over the world. What you learn when working with people like that are lessons for life.
