Key Activities
This is an international youth forum bringing together changemakers from across the globe for workshops, policy dialogues, cultural exchange, and visits to world-renowned institutions.
Anyone aged 16–46 from any country, with a passion for making a positive impact, is welcome to apply.
We have Fully Funded, Partially Funded, and Guaranteed Participation categories (Forum Admission & Self-Funded). Each comes with its own set of benefits.
If selected, your airfare, local travel, accommodation, meals, and visa support letter are all covered. It’s a competitive, merit-based selection.
If selected, you’ll get local travel, accommodation, meals, and visa support letter — but airfare is not included. Selection is also competitive and merit-based.
Yes! If you apply for both, you will be independently assessed for each but can only be selected for one. This increases your chances — if you’re not selected for Fully Funded, you’ll still be considered for Partially Funded.
This is for those who only need a visa support letter to attend. The cost you pay will be fully adjusted if you later choose to upgrade to a Guaranteed Participation category.
These are paid categories that guarantee your spot — Forum Admission (conference access + meals + visa support) and Self-Funded (all-inclusive except airfare).
Highly competitive. Funded categories are awarded based on merit, leadership potential, and alignment with the forum’s goals.
No. We welcome both first-time travelers and experienced participants.
Workshops, policy dialogues, cultural activities, networking sessions, and visits to international organizations.
This depends on your nationality. We provide an official visa invitation letter to selected participants in all categories.
Yes. You can apply in any category that fits your situation — airfare benefits will simply not be used if you’re already there.
Complete the online application form, upload your documents, and submit before the deadline.
