The future of the world relies on the choices of its inhabitants: all of us.
We are currently facing unprecedented challenges: from a (hopefully) post-pandemic world to the risk of a global conflict, from the digital revolution to the safeguard of our planet, and much more.
ISPI’s initiative Planet Needs YOUth aims at encouraging young people to play a central role in the debates on key international issues.
500 young university students will get the opportunity to attend the Interactive Youth Forum and a competition to tackle all major global challenges. In addition, 40 ISPI G20 Global Ambassadors will get the chance to take part in the G20 Simulation Game and the Global Policy Forum in Milan.
Apply now to make the difference and be part of the change!
Lectures with high-level speakers from the Italian and international community in dialogue with the 500 participants on the most pressing challenges that the future of our planet is facing. From the Ukrainian conflict and its implications to the post-pandemic recovery, from the future of the education and job markets, to the digital transformation and the fight against climate change.
Participants in the Interactive Youth Forum will challenge themselves by creating an innovative awareness campaign on one of the following topics: the impact that conflicts have on young generations, risks or benefits of the digitalization and the opportunities of the green transition.
The 40 creators of the best awareness campaign will be appointed as ISPI G20 Global Ambassadors. They will take part in the G20 Simulation Game, focused on the Indonesian presidency of the G20. The Ambassadors will also have the opportunity to attend the Global Policy Forum in Milan (June 20—22).
The creators of the best 3 awareness campaigns will win the free access to a Diploma or a Certificate from the ISPI School, or the participation in the 8th edition of Rome MED Dialogues (December 1-3, 2022).

The II edition of the Global Policy Forum (GPF) is co-hosted by ISPI, Bocconi University, OECD and Think20 Indonesia.
