Are you striving to expand your horizon, meet young people from across the globe and create-real world impact?
Then join Young Global Thinker’s three-part event series on participation in cities! During our Kick-off Seminar, Incubator and Impact Festival you will connect with young change makers from across the globe, exchange perspectives, and start your own project with a group of like-minded young thinkers.
Together, we’ll explore how these spaces, where we all gather, from the smallest towns to megacities, are and can be used as platforms for participation. We will tackle urban planning, street art, mental health in cities, citizen involvement, and many more topics.
- Kick-Off Seminar
To make sure people from all around the world can join the conference, we will host the same conference two times, on different weekends and at different times.
