Global Youth Summit 2017

This year’s summit will take place from July 16-20 in Switzerland. As usual, we will be inviting 60 exceptional young Changemakers to come and take part in workshops, skill-building sessions, and networking activities. Participants will learn campaigning, fundraising, public relations, project pitching, and more! After the summit, every participant will then be eligible to apply for financial support from Global Changemakers to help get their projects off the ground.
Who is eligible?

We are looking for the most inspiring young social entrepreneurs, community activists, advocates and campaigners from across the globe. Participants must be between 18 and 23 years of age on the dates of the summit.
