International Forum We, the Youth comes to Europe!

We believe in the transformative power of youth-led action for social justice and sustainability.

That is why UNRISD is pleased to partner with Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) and Korean partners for the launch of the International Forum We, the Youth (IFWY)—a global platform putting youth at the forefront of change.

As part of this initiative, UNRISD will co-host the first-ever IFWY Europe Regional Dialogue, taking place in Geneva, Switzerland, on 18–19 September 2025.

This fully funded opportunity invites young leaders aged 18–35 to take the lead on the region’s most urgent challenges. Fifty changemakers from across Europe will be selected to co-create youth-led solutions and recommendations around:

  • Environmental Sustainability

  • Economic Transformation

  • Social Justice and Equality

  • Technological Innovations & Ethical Considerations

  • Peace and Cooperation

  • Collective Action, Solidarity & Democracy

This isn’t just another conference. It’s a youth-led, solution-driven space designed to empower underrepresented voices across the region.

Are you—or someone in your network—ready to share ideas and shape the future? Apply now and take your seat at the table.

🗓️ New deadline: 24 August 2025
