Introducing the 9th Cohort of the Youth Delegate Program: A New Generation of Changemakers
UNITE 2030 is proud to announce the start of the 9th Cohort of the Youth Delegate Program, which officially began on October 23, 2023.
This year, we welcome 24 extraordinary delegates from 20 different countries, each ready to embark on a journey of leadership, innovation, and impact. These emerging leaders have been selected for their passion, vision, and commitment to addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges. As they engage in this transformative experience, we look forward to witnessing their growth and the incredible impact they will undoubtedly make.
The Youth Delegate Program is a dynamic, hands-on experience designed to empower emerging visionaries with the tools and connections they need to turn their passion into real-world impact. Our comprehensive, non-academic curriculum is designed to equip delegates with the skills, knowledge, and networks they need to transform bold ideas into reality. From exploring their unique strengths and leadership styles in the first phase to mastering the art of storytelling and collaboration in the second, these emerging leaders will be equipped to tackle global challenges head-on. The program culminates in hands-on problem-solving sessions where delegates apply what they've learned to create innovative, human-centered solutions.
