From 200,000 voices to one agenda for change. 🌏

On 28-29 October in Tokyo, young people will co-create a Youth Agenda for Education Beyond 2030, building on the perspectives shared by 200,000 youth from 194 countries.

More than a statement of aspirations, the Youth Agenda will define:
🔮 The future young people want to see
🚀 The actions they are ready to lead
🛠️ The support needed to turn ideas into reality

It will inform the broader global conversation on education beyond 2030.
