Youth Talks Read more Executive summary Read more Youth Talks is the largest-ever global consultation inviting people aged 15-29 to share their opinions, concerns and aspirations for the future. Launched in 2022, the project was initiated by the Switzerland-based Higher Education for Good Foundation, whose goal is to support higher education institutions in transforming their programmes for a more sustainable future. The project uses state-of-the-art A.I. technology to analyse responses, enabling participants to answer open-ended questions in thoughtful, nuanced ways and distilling vast amounts of shared content into rich, comprehensible and actionable insights. Depending on the continents, regions, countries, communities or socio-economic categories they belong to, young people have different expectations, ambitions and needs. The Youth Talks Online platform allows young people to express themselves through written contributions, voice recordings and image uploads. This multi-faceted, multi-media approach encourages diversity and inclusion by broadening the initiative’s reach and proximity. Youth Talks is the first consultation of its kind in terms of methodology and results. This first edition has already received approximately 1,000,000 contributions from more than 45,000 young people in 212 countries and territories. Today, the initiative engages with more than 55 partners, including the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), as well as top universities, world youth organisations, and political institutions. The new Youth Talks Ambassadors Network includes 2 300 young people from every region of the world who actively support and promote the project in their communities.
