The gathering brings together youth leaders from all five continents alongside government representatives, religious leaders, technology innovators, and academics from more than 140 public and private universities across 70 countries.

Inspired by foundational social teachings and the legacy of Pope Francis, the forum seeks to place the concerns and aspirations of young people in direct dialogue with global decision-makers.
