A conference is a collection of meetings arranged in a programme, with a number of people invited as speakers, and other information fields typical of large congresses or social events (registration, list of organisations that support or sponsor the event, etc.).
Examples: A conference can be a relevant event for an organization and its members, or take place as part of a participatory process or follow a consultation.
Introduction
The International Youth Conference is the core annual event of the International Youth Think Tank.
Details
Too many citizens of the world are unheard or excluded from representative democracy, while authoritarian regimes cynically manipulate and roll back democratic processes. Today’s societal challenges, must be met with the persistent strengths of an open, lively democracy that actualizes citizens’ political equality, empowerment, participation, and emancipation in new ways.
In hard competition, from among 540 applications of 68 different nationalities, we have chosen 24 young democracy innovators from 12 different countries to attend the fifth anniversary International Youth Conference in Barcelona. During the European Capital of Democracy this youthful “brain trust” will gather with the assignment to develop tangible proposals for how to empower people and innovate democracy.
The participants will be offered meetings with executive professionals and research scholars as part of a structured and moderated program. They are expected to substantiate visionary ideas on reasonable, evidenced grounds, and deliberate and develop them in a collaborative space.
The conference will conclude with a report and a presentation on the last day, November 23, which will be open to the public on site in Barcelona and online.
