Global voices. Local impact. Lasting change.
International youth forum
A global platform uniting the youth worldwide to discuss critical social issues, exchange ideas, and raise their voices.
Be Part of the Solution
The International Youth Forum fosters leadership, critical thinking, cross-cultural dialogue, and civic engagement in students around the world. Teenagers from all backgrounds can join each year to share their unique perspectives on important issues via a variety of mediums, including presentations, animation, video skits, poetry, music, speeches, and more.
By inviting students to engage in open dialogue, we empower them to become active, informed global citizens.
