What is YouthSpeak Forum?
Youth Speak Forum is a one-day event that aims to give young people a platform to get inspired, understand and act towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. You can take a step towards understanding the role you play in contributing to the 2030 agenda, all while meeting real movers and shakers. Throughout the conference, top experts from the corporate, governmental & non-governmental sector will join us and share their experiences through keynotes and workshops. Spend a day gaining knowledge, making your voice heard and sharpening your skills. Our modular agenda allows you to visit the sessions that interest you, be that human rights, climate change or social entrepreneurship. Take advantage of the full-day networking fair, boost your career prospects & get certified. What’s even better?
Entrance is completely free – we want everyone to be involved.
