Online event

Gujarat Youth Conclave is Gujarat Youth Forum’s annual flagship program, supported by Elixir Foundation, UNICEF India and YuWaah, aiming at meaningfully engaging youth in discussing ideas, setting priorities, deriving solutions, and implementing innovations. Given the COVID-19 perspective, the drive to contribute to the resilience of their communities, propose innovative solutions, drive social progress and inspire political change, in urban as well as rural contexts, is at an all-time high. Young people have emerged as a powerful force for change and have the strength to lead sustainable change. Through this conclave, The Gujarat Youth Forum wants to give a unique opportunity for youth to jointly address common challenges as well as advance their contributions to achieving the common goals for the betterment of the society.
