Youth Summit 2024 "Young Voices. Intergenerational Online Meetup"
Your voice counts! At the digital International Youth Summit 2024 we focus on having young voices heard. We therefore invite young adults who are committed to an issue and make themselves heard in various fields to share their experience and engagement. Their short inputs shall encourage, inspire and lead to interesting discussions amongst all young participants. For the second part of the event, we then invite people in leading positions from various fields to listen. As a young adult, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and share your ideas. We are very much looking forward to hearing your voice on the International Youth Summit 2024. Register now!
Alumni Day meets Youth Summit "Young Voices. Intergenerational Meetup"
The Youth Summit 2024 "Young Voices. Intergenerational Meetup" brings generations together! Be part of it too! At the beginning of the event, the focus is on the first part of the title: young voices. The youth ambassadors will take the floor through a series of short inputs and we will talk about the concerns of young adults from our international network. Through a wide range of intergenerational activities (of which you can choose two), we will then exchange ideas and learn from each other. The international youth ambassadors and Mission 21 alumni will be present on this varied day and look forward to stimulating discussions... with you!
Podcast - Online from February 2!
We are committed to transcultural exchange between young people and work together for a just world. That's why we want to give young people from our international network a voice with our podcast "Young Voices".
Each episode gives a person the opportunity to share what is important to them and what moves them. Learn new things, gain insights into other contexts and be inspired by people's stories.
