Who should participate?

People from an NGO, youth group, or social movement: Youth are the social innovators of today and deserve promotion and support from all sectors of society. They bring with them a new type of leadership representing a bridge between now and the future. These tours will show you the future.

People from the private sector: Corporations recognize with increasing frequency that shareholder benefits are closely linked to knowledge of consumer behavior. However, business development is limited in areas where the profit is small and the risk is large. It is precisely in these areas that youth groups take on important roles in the development process. With few resources and usually without the goal of profit, youth groups work on projects and activities that form the future of their countries. Youth groups are a bridge between visionary businesses and new consumer trends.

People from the public sector: Innovations in the field of public policy are essential for improving society. New youth programs that are successful have often passed through important evaluation and adaptation to achieve their results, serving as a reference for other groups. Public servants and policy makers have a vital responsibility to constantly improve public policies, carefully considering youth participation in society. Through successful programs upheld by successful policies, youth can become productive citizens and contribute to the welfare of their countries. These tours will show you successful programs supported by successful national youth policies.

People from the media: In this historical moment, when many fear the future, the media has a responsibility to publish pieces that show new values, new visions and hope. Young people are the leaders of the future, if not today, and their perspectives and successful actions in response to the challenges of the 21st century will become reference points for other youth and even other generations. Participate in these tours to discover the future.

People from academia: In all levels of the educational process, teachers and professors are responsible for developing citizens that respond to the needs of a world in flux. Youth are the world's greatest untapped resource and represent our collective future. However, their movements require greater academic analysis so that their contributions to society can be better recognized and understood in the following decades.

People from philanthropy: Youth movements are among the most transformational actors in society today. They set trends, they adapt quickly to new technological innovations, and they represent the future. They also run on a slim budget. Unfortunately, youth groups have few relationships with grant-makers because they are new and still discovering the world. Investing in youth promises to be meaningful and high impact.
