Priyanka Chopra shared the space with US President Bill Clinton, former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev, and the first female Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard recently at the EF's 50th anniversary held at Boston.
The actress, who has previously worked towards women empowerment and has spread awareness about the development of a girl child, recently even gave a speech about girl education at this prestigious event. It was a 30 minutes speech with a 'Q and A' session. This was a huge honour for the actress and also very special one as well, since she also got a standing ovation for it.
Speaking about the event, Priyanka said, "It was a huge honour to share the same platform as this illustrious group who are as passionate about this cause as I am. It was great to share ideas and discuss various opportunities to drive change. I went to high school in Boston. So to me, it was almost like coming full circle. It's great to be back here and to see my old friends and my family."
More than 2,500 guests attended EF's 'A Day With World Leaders', including EF employees, students and teachers from EF's Boston Language School and the Hult International Business School Boston/Cambridge campus, as well as local dignitaries and guests who have contributed to EF's success during its first 50 years in business.
