At the World Youth Development Forum, Nadi Albino spotlighted the power of investing in youth potential, highlighting that when given the opportunity, young people deliver impact at scale.

In her reflections, she shared:
“I’ve always believed that if you provide opportunities for young people, they will excel and they will contribute positively not only to development in their countries, but globally.”

By helping bridge skills to real opportunities and connecting the systems around young people, we can equip them to go further, shaping and leading today’s world.

From June 11 to 17, the 2026 Acceleration Week for Global Youth Development Programs was successfully held in Shanghai and Wuhan!

Extensive Selection: 200 young representatives from over 80 countries were initially selected, with 170 participants from more than 70 countries ultimately gathering for the Acceleration Week. They were supported by 24 Chinese and international mentors, who provided accelerated support for the youth's innovative practices in promoting sustainable development.

Program Empowerment: Through program pitch, thematic training, and mentors reviews at the workshops, 53 programs stood out and were recognized as excellence actions in the 2026 Excellence Programs of the Action Plan for Global Youth Development. Additionally, during two partnership meetings, 84 programs reached letter of Intent for Cooperation.

Community Building: Five sessions of the "Global Link for Youth Actions” were held as warm-up and preparatory events. By adopting an online-offline integrated, community-based, and platform-driven operational model, the initiative aims to cultivate more youth pioneer communities for sustainable development and deepen international cooperation in youth development.

Let's take action! Let us put the Global Development Initiative and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development into practice through concrete actions.
