Date & time: November 3, 2025 at 9 – 10am ET
Join us for an inspiring webinar where the Youth Assembly Advisory Council will unveil youth priorities and the concept for the 31st AFS Youth Assembly, empowering young leaders to unite for global action!
The session will highlight major insights from the Global Survey, where hundreds of young voices shared their top concerns and aspirations, framing the agenda for the upcoming Assembly. Discussions will center on how youth leadership can drive global action on pressing issues like education, climate change, inequality, and social justice, and how young people can collaborate with international organizations and governments to create lasting impact. The webinar will also explore pathways for meaningful youth participation in decision-making, with a focus on building essential skills for the future.
Past lessons from previous Assemblies will be shared, along with testimonials from former participants about how the experience empowered them. Attendees will learn about opportunities for involvement in the planning and execution of the 31st Youth Assembly, as well as how they can actively engage in shaping the future both within and beyond the Assembly.
Join us in solidarity to tackle the greatest challenges of our time and inspire the next generation of changemakers!
