Youth Global Forum 2026

ree

The world is changing—and fast. From the rise of artificial intelligence to the climate emergency, youth unemployment, and growing economic uncertainty, the future holds both enormous promise and significant challenges.


Youth Global Forum 2026 is a one-of-a-kind international gathering that brings together young changemakers from around the world to lead dialogue on the future they want to build. Organized by the Centre for Global Dialogue and Leadership (CGDL), an independent Canadian public policy institute, the forum is aligned with key European Union youth frameworks, including:

  • EU Youth Strategy 2019–2027

  • EU Youth Dialogue

  • European Youth Work Agenda


This forum continues CGDL’s mission to empower youth through action, policy, and leadership on a global stage.


Registrations close: 25 November 2025

The Future Ancestors Program acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the traditional custodians of so-called Australia.

 

We acknowledge Turrbal and Yaggera country - places on which we gather that have always been enriched by lore, community, culture and identity.

 

We recognise all indigenous people, in particular those from the Pacific and the interwoven history we share with the First Nations people of Australia.
