Jointly organized by the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) and the Netherlands International Cooperation Collection (NICC), this event aims to explore the powerful role of young people (in the past and present) tackling global challenges and advancing sustainable and inclusive development, in the Netherlands and beyond.
From civil rights to climate action, the role of youth in international cooperation is a story worth discovering.
What to expect
A look back at the Dutch history of global solidarity, awareness raising and international cooperation inspired by youth
Reflections on today’s challenges and future opportunities for youth leadership
Conversations across generations with students, young professionals, seasoned experts and retired changemakers
Topics include children’s and youth rights, climate change, biodiversity, poverty and inequality, food and agriculture and human rights – serious themes, discussed in an open and energizing atmosphere.
The event hopes to spark intergenerational collaboration around the NICC Youth Project and to strengthen multi-sectoral networks: exchanging ideas, sharing stories and discussing different points of view.
