Youth Blast:
Building on our previous practices at HLPF, UNGA and related meetings - MGCY will host a Youth Blast prior to the conference, in-person in New York.
The Youth Blast is free to participate and will serve as a crucial youth-led space for capacity building and skill sharing, networking, strategic discussion and fostering new collaborations, as young people finalize their preparations for the HLPF. The following key objectives are intended from the Youth Blast session:
Provide youth, especially those new to the UN process, a briefing and capacity building about the UN system, ECOSOC processes, Agenda 2030 and what to expect in the coming days
Provide thematic and regional updates on key processes feeding into HLPF
Discuss about youth-led events, activities, peaceful marches/protests and related for and during the Forum
Dedicate time toward drafting / finalising youth interventions and information on speaking opportunities/other roles
Strategic planning on how youth participation and engagement at the HLPF can be maximised, such as planning for key bilaterals, finalising schedule, etc
Strategies to share knowledge with young people in their communities to amplify the impact of discussions with those beyond the Forum
Overview and interlinkages with UNGA 2025 & World Social Summit 2025
Therefore, we strongly encourage you to participate if you are coming to the HLPF!
