… where young (aspiring) changemakers gather, exchange ideas, and collaborate.
The Changemakers Youth Forum is not just a project;
It
We bring together passionate changemakers, students, early career researchers, aspiring entrepreneurs, and young professionals to engage in dialogue and youth forums, share ideas and knowledge, and provide inspiration for others to take action.
Our vision is to co-create a youth-led ecosystem that is capable of collectively addressing social and environmental challenges, in a way that is:
We have set out a series of goals to support our youth engagement efforts and by extension help us to achieve our strategic objectives.
?
Our goal is to co-create the conditions that provide young people with opportunities to share their views, interests, needs and ideas with each other and with key stakeholders and decision makers.
Our goal is to continue providing young people with opportunities for skills development to help them address their personal skills gap, and to support their pursuit of a successful and meaningful life.
Our goal is to continue building a supportive community for young changemakers and innovators to learn and support each other, whilst contribute towards building a stronger coalition of stakeholders with shared interests.
Our goal is to continue taking active steps towards building a dynamic youth-led ecosystem by bringing together research, innovation, and skills development to empower young people.
Our goal is to co-design and undertake more research activities with our youth forum and related activities. We want to eliminate inefficiencies when attempts are made to solve social or environmental challenges, by facilitating knowledge sharing and disseminating research findings that are relevant to the forum’s thematic areas.
Our goal is to publish a Social Impact Report and a list of recommended action plans that would serve as meaningful intellectual outputs of our youth forum. We would then present our key insights to our patron, the Hungarian National Commission for UNESCO, stakeholders, and decision makers.
Listen to insightful keynotes, engage in meaningful discussions, and attend workshops and training sessions to gain new knowledge and perspective.
Get outside of your bubble and comfort zone to connect with like-minded people and critical thinkers. This way, you can develop network that can support your personal and professional journey.
Get the changemaker skills you need to create meaningful change in your community. Unlock your brilliance among diverse and talented young minds, where every conversation sparks new ideas and fuels your passion for change.
There is only so much you can achieve your bubble. Access a platform to elevate your voice by sharing your opinions or stepping onto a stage that celebrates your ideas, visions, and dreams.
Mental health refers to the ability to think, feel and react in a way that is required to live your life in normal conditions. It is often a neglected topic, but it's more important than ever before.
Diversity and inclusion brings tremendous benefits, such as more diverse perspectives, greater innovation and creativity, better financial performance, and improved reputations.
What does meaningful youth participation and youth leadership look like? And why aren’t young people involved in the decision-making process around policies that directly affect them?
