2023 Youth Chats – Sister Cities International (SCI)

YOUTH LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2023

We are excited to announce the return of our highly anticipated Youth Leadership Summit this year!

Building upon the success of last year’s Summit, this program aims to provide a platform for students to express their ideas freely on crucial topics such as democracy and climate change.Through engaging interactive discussions and thought-provoking sessions, the Summit will empower students to voice their opinions confidently, fostering an environment of open dialogue and constructive exchange.

The first part of the Summit will consist of two “SCI Youth Chats” on July 20 and August 3, 2023. These chats will be open to students around the world and will feature leading speakers in their fields.

The second part of the Summit, “Youth Leadership Summit – Public Forum” will take place during the week of International Youth Day, on August 10, 2023 and will be open to participation from our global audience. During the program, participants will have a chance to learn more about Sister Cities International, listen to the experiences of SCI Youth Chats participants, and view unique artwork from our Young Artists and Authors Showcase.
