Youth Summit
‘The World We Want’
A safe, stable, prosperous, and sustainable world for all.
The World We Want is safe, stable, prosperous, and sustainable – based on empathy and respect. It is open, sharing, and features equal rights and opportunities. The World We Want acknowledges the power of the individual and the force in joint struggles. The World We Want recognises local action for global impact. The World We Want supports innovation and creativity, yet builds on existing knowledge and documented methods.
This session outlines the world’s existing challenges and presents ideas or methods to encourage the youth to envision the ideal World they all desire and would contribute to building.
It sets the tone for topics that will be explored further throughout the summit.
‘Our Role in the World we want.’
We all have important roles to play.
Major institutions from governments, businesses, academia, and media increasingly take proactive measures to become change-makers. In this session, we discuss how different institutions: from corporates, state-parastatals, civil societies, industry leaders, and NGOs take a leading role as change-makers.
Summit partners share with the delegates on initiatives they have undertaken to bring about change within their environments. Moreover, the panelists encourage the delegation to share their ideas on what roles they can play.
Agenda Of The Summit
Our agenda is divided into two;
- A keynote address based on our main pillar Social well-being and breakout sessions based on our foundation pillars and Youth Development Index as You and I.
- Workshops based on our pillars and Key performance indicators in our You and I Academy programs;
Governance
‘Civic Engagement and Governance/Political Participation’ Workshop
The leaders of tomorrow need to be involved today. The youth must play their role in governance.
How can youth lend their voices to political conversations and play a leading role in evolving the political landscape from the old order?
These are some of the questions this workshop space will seek to answer. For a country to achieve transformative progress, solutions must come from the county’s sources.
