Next Generation [ ] Action involves youth by
Collaborating with a large sustainability-focused congress or summit hosted in Copenhagen to offer two distinct tracks, the Young Academics Track and the Young Entrepreneurs Track.
Young Academics Track
The Young Academic Track focuses on challenge-based learning, where university students from partnering countries work in teams to develop their ideas and solutions to a sustainability challenge brought forward by global partners. The students are engaged in a hybrid innovation course, where bootcamps, keynotes and mentoring guide them from challenge to solution. The students are then invited to bring their solutions and perspectives into the congress or summit, to exhibit, pitch and engage in the global dialogue for a sustainable future leaving no one behind.
Young Entrepreneurs Track
The Young Entrepreneurs Track focuses on accelerating early-stage technology startups into the global sustainability dialogue, giving them a platform to share their ideas and promote their startup through exhibitions and pitching. The entrepreneurs are prepared through a series of bootcamps, keynotes and mentor sessions focused on building global partnerships, preparing a congress strategy and inclusion/universal design.
