The call for IYC26 in Seoul is now open!

Seoul, South Korea will host the International Youth Think Tank’s (IYTT) 8th Youth Conference from August 31st to September 3rd, 2026!

We’re thrilled to partner with the Global Green Growth Institute, the Younan Movement, and VALID to bring together 24 exceptional young leaders, thinkers, and artists aged 18-26 for an immersive four-day experience focused on shaping the future of democracy and civic engagement.

This year’s conference will focus on developing concrete proposals for reclaiming dignity, openness, and democracy in a rapidly changing world. Participants will benefit from expert-led sessions, collaborative workshops, and the opportunity to join a powerful global network of IYTT Youth Fellows.

What does it mean to be an IYTT Youth Fellow? Fellows contribute to the creation of the innovative IYTT Participation Toolkit and actively foster participation within their communities. All travel, accommodation, and meals will be covered for selected participants.
