Global Youth Summit 2023: It’s been raining leaders in Manila.
Over a thousand young minds converged at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall on August 11, 2023, during the first quarter of the most anticipated annual call to action for youth to solve global problems-the Global Youth Summit (GYS).
Now in its 11th year, GYS 2023 featured a four-part extraordinary journey of inspiration and empowerment organized through collaboration between the main benefactors: Global Peace Foundation (GPF), a leading voice in global peacebuilding committed to a world where all people can live in peace and harmony; and SM Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls committed to making SM malls more inclusive and sustainable. The event is supported by Nestlé, Bless Microfinance Corporation, Our Home, DepEd, Philippine Society of NSTP Educators and Implementers, Inc., National University, and SM Mall of Asia.
The primary themes of the event were collaboratively established by actively asking the participants themselves about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) they wanted to address. This approach ensured the event's relevance to participants' needs and the feasibility of generated solutions. The organizers presented a list of potential primary themes to the participants and asked them to vote on their top choices. By actively involving the participants in setting the agenda for solutions, the GYS committee organizers ensured the event's true significance and impact on the attending young people.
See you on August 19 at SM Cagayan De Oro Downtown Premiere, August 26 at SM City Iloilo and September 2 at SM City Baguio! ✨
