Youth leaders to attend global summit

OVER a thousand youth leaders from across the country will gather for the Global Youth Summit on Aug. 11, at the SM North Edsa Skydome in Quezon City.

Themed “3D: Design, Develop, Deliver,” the Global Youth Summit seeks to harness the potential of the youth towards addressing issues. College students, student councils, and youth organizations are invited to design ideas, develop innovation, and ultimately deliver positive societal impact through their own fresh ideas. The best ideas produced will be featured online and awarded with prizes and grants to implement their projects.

The summit is being organized by AIESEC Philippines in partnership with SM Cares, Global Peace Festival Foundation, and Global Peace Youth Corps.
