Featured speeches delivered by 8 featured guests

8 representatives of partnering organizations will challenge the audience with an overview of the pressing issues related to each of the topics. This will open the floor for specific conversations the delegates feel still need to happen so that society can advance on these macro-topics and their more sub-topics.

15:50 - 17:40   

YOUTH TO BUSINESS: Entrepreneurship in the Crisis, Climate change & Sustainability, Labour mobility & Diversity in 2 rounds of an open space.

Delegates will have the opportunity to propose conversation topics they feel the world needs to have in order to progress and develop around each of the Forum’s key topics.  In 2 rounds of conversations, all delegates will attend those that interest them the most and capture the thoughts and conclusions of the group and themselves.  The space is designed for the organizational representatives to participate alongside the members to continue guiding and offering assistance when needed; however, the discussions are led by the members themselves.  The conclusions and further questions will be harvested and shared among the network and public in a published output.

17:40 - 18:00
