The Youth Global Forum Initiative

Since 2010 the Youth Time International Movement has come up with the initiative of organizing the Youth Forum in Greece, which annually took place on the island of Rhodes. After five years successfully organizing this event, from 2015 the project has grown and has become more global and accordingly was transformed to the Youth Global Forum. The Youth Global Forum gives the opportunity to young people from all over the world to challenge themselves and present their projects, for which they can win a grant or scholarships at prestigious universities all over the world.

Mission of Youth Global Forum

Presently, the world economy is experiencing a protracted crisis. Further, diminishing resources in an ever-increasing population presents additional challenges and in order to improve the situation both locally and globally, we need new types of entrepreneurial thinking. In fact, there has never been a more crucial time to develop innovative strategies toward building sustainable livelihoods for future generations. A knowledge-based economy is a progressive means of tackling some the biggest issues facing society in the modern era. The aim of the Global Youth Forum 2017 is to bring young people together from all over the world to discuss and redefine what it means to be thinking as an entrepreneur in today’s economic climate.
