The launch event is an introduction to what is to come from Youth:Present – rather than a traditional webinar, we are organising an open, moderated discussion panel and thereby putting our own methodology into action. The event strives to reflect the principles of Youth Present: intergenerational dialogues; bringing the voices of youth at an equal footing with high-level speakers; and highlighting and broadcasting their ideas and solutions, and concerns.
We are very privileged to have a wonderful panel of speakers, among which
- Ananya Orpe, Green Hope Foundation, United Arab Emirates
- Dr David Boyd, Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment
- Jichen Liu, Youth Envoy Young Leader, Founder and CEO of Clear Plate®, China (tbc)
- Jayathma Wickramanayake, the Secretary General’s Special Envoy on Youth
- Kehkashan Basu, Founder of Green Hope, World Future Council Youth Ambassador
- Majenka Dominie, Youth Parliamentarian, Suriname
- Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces, President of the 73rd General Assembly, Councillor of the World Future Council
