Decision-makers come to the conference to increase the impact, scale and sustainability of their youth development opportunities programming, policies deliberations, and mentorships. The agenda attracts leading experts who are working to advance social and economic well being of young people.
The “Fostering Development: Complexity of Intervention in a Globalized World” is a theme of intense focus and for good reason: the rise of technology and globalization is dramatically transforming labor markets and impacting economic opportunities for young people in the 21st Century.The theme also focuses on democracy as the feedback mechanism for establishing order in a complex,globalized world and the movement towards political cooperation among transnational actors, aimed at negotiating responses to problems that affect more than one state or region.
The 2018 Global Youth Diplomats Conference is the 3rd of such international event and will explore what the future of work holds for young people and for the professionals working to expand youth opportunities in diplomacy, governance and economy globally.This year’s conference is a collaborative effort of the International Model Diplomats for Integrated Developments and Kings University College SRC.
