JOIN THE DISCUSSION, BE PART OF THE ACTION!
WHAT?
Youths for SDGs is a 2-day conference for international high school students to come together to discuss global issues, raise awareness on SDGs, and come up with innovative solutions to ongoing problems. The event will serve as a platform for brainstorming and sharing ideas and networking through activities that will require creativity and problem-solving skills to explore potential and practical ways for young individuals to overcome obstacles to the SDGs, with small to medium-scale action as the main focus.
WHEN?
3-4 November 2018
WHERE?
WHY?
Youths play an important role in advocating for and achieving the global goals. While major institutions like governments and corporates play a crucial role in solving each of these issues, oftentimes, young people are the ones who decide to take the initiative and action.
All individuals, no matter what age, have an impact towards the society they live in, whether big or small. While people like activists Malala Yousafsai and Joshua Wong, and even the then-teenage entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg, have changed change the world unique ways, they did not know what was in store for them until they tried. Even the smallest decisions we make in our daily lives affect the world around us in different ways, just as all the problems in the world affect us, both directly and indirectly. Why wait for someone else to change, or for the government to do something? It’s time we create the future we want. It’s time we be the change we want to see in the world.

Our Core Team
Get to know our team!
We’re a group of undergraduate students from different universities and backgrounds passionate about driving change for our society. We’ve had many different opportunities to learn about social issues in our undergraduate years, whether it be through exploring Sweden’s waste management techniques by spending an exchange semester in Stockholm University or learning about local sustainability practices in Thailand’s rural areas. Although we have different experiences and backgrounds, one thing that we share in common is our passion for changing the world for the better, in the ways we can. We strongly believe in the power of youth in being the drivers of future change. As we have gotten numerous different opportunities to learn about social change, we wanted to extend this opportunity for younger youths to learn more about social issues in their highschool years. Being aware of global and local issues is the first step to being the solution to them in the future. We would like to empower youths to know that everyone is capable of contributing to achieve the SDGs within their spheres of influence. Therefore, we teamed up to initiate this event, making this effort truly for youths, by youths.

Our Youth Leaders
Meet our youth leaders!
As an attempt to include youths in our efforts of creating the event, we opened up the opportunity to high schoolers who are already familiar with and passionate about social issues to help lead this event with us. We proud to present to you our 18 youth leaders, from different international schools, who share the same passion for solving social issues. They would be leading the discussions in the Breakout Session and activities in the Sustainability Quest. And we’re thrilled to be collaborating with them. Hearing about the creative ideas they have in store, we can’t wait to share it with you!
