About the New Generation Leaders Summit
The New Generation Leaders Summit is designed for young people who are already contributing to their communities and want to strengthen their leadership skills, international networks and ability to develop solutions to global challenges.
Over three days, participants will learn from experienced leaders, collaborate with international peers and work on challenges connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The summit previously held its first edition in Dubai in January 2025. The 2027 edition will take place in Bangkok under the initiative of Better World Charity, an international non-profit organisation focused on restoring the dignity of marginalised communities.
