Abstract :

In line with the decision made by TDAG-23 and endorsed by the ITU Council, the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) will lead the development of the ITU Global Youth Summit 2024 (GYS-24) ahead of the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-25).
The ITU GYS-24 will tentatively be held from 11 to 13 December 2024 under the theme "Amplifying Youth Voices in ICT for an Inclusive and Connected Future" with the main objective to facilitate a focused discussion on how the global digital ecosystem influences the educational and socio-economic development of young people globally. The Summit seeks to provide an opportunity for young people to debate and exchange views on their active participation in shaping the digital agenda that includes them.
