The old models of diplomacy are no longer enough to solve the world’s most complex challenges. The 13th International Youth Conference is presenting to participants a new approach, Youth-Led Multilateralism. In this new paradigm, young leaders don’t just ask for a seat at the table – they build a new one, convening across borders to create tangible solutions for peace and development. The conference will bring together hundreds of changemakers from around the globe for four transformative days of action. Activities will include engaging in high-level dialogues with established diplomats, mastering practical skills in hands-on workshops on negotiation, conflict resolution, and policy advocacy, and building a global network of allies. Conference organizers encourage participation by students, activists, entrepreneurs, and young professionals who are passionate about driving real-world change, The conference is hosted by the International Organization of Youth and is available both for in-person and online participation.
