The eighth annual Vatican Youth Symposium, co-hosted by SDSN Youth and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PASS), gathered youth and world renowned leaders virtually December 15 - 17, 2021.
Co-hosted by SDSN Youth and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PASS), the Vatican Youth Symposium (VYS) brings together youth leaders and experts to strengthen the global movement for sustainable development.
On 30-31 October 2016, SDSN Youth assembled young leaders from a variety of disciplines including tech, advocacy, research and policy to the Vatican for a series of interactive workshops to trade knowledge, co-generate ideas and operationalize solutions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
Traditionally held at the Casina Pio IV in Vatican City, the 2020 VYS will take on a virtual format due to the constraints of the global pandemic. While we will miss convening within the walls of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and the ability to connect in-person, this virtual format has granted us with the opportunity to reach an even greater audience.
The Vatican Youth Symposium 2019 will take place at the Casina Pio IV in Vatican City on October 16. This year, it gathers more than 85 leaders and innovators to develop solutions and partnerships for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Vatican Youth Symposium served as a forum for intellectual and innovative discussion, on universal inequality, and the critical shift that is not only required but one that must be pragmatically driven by young people. Rather than mere symbolism and idealistic commentary, challenges within local contexts were considered, solutions were posed and action commenced.
SDSN Youth in collaboration with the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (PAS), will host the Vatican Youth Symposium at the Casina Pio IV in Vatican City. Youth Leadership for Integral Human Development - Laudato Si’ and the Sustainable Development Goals.
En el Simposio de los Jóvenes en el Vaticano, tuvimos la ocasión de escuchar 47 propuestas, presentadas por parte de otros tantos delegados con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 30 años, que ya se están llevando a cabo de forma efectiva o están en las primeras fases de implementación, en materias tan relevantes como el tráfico de personas, la salud, la mejora de las condiciones laborales y la promoción de la cultura. Como parte de SDSN Youth, la cual organizó junto a la Pontificia Academia de las Ciencias el mencionado Simposio, fue un honor para mí y para el resto de miembros del equipo moderar los debates entre tan brillantes candidatos, liderar los grupos de trabajo y proveer a los delegados con las herramientas necesarias para que pudieran desarrollar al máximo su potencial.
The 2018 Vatican Youth Symposium, which was jointly convened by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (PAS) and SDSN Youth, brought together youth entrepreneurs, activists, and innovators for training in global development. The theme of the conference, which was Youth Leadership for Integral Human Development: Laudato Si’ and the Sustainable Development Goals, motivated participants to recommit themselves to partnerships for the 2030 Agenda and to their role as youth leaders for a brighter, better future.
Vatican City: On October 14-15, 2017 the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (PAS), in collaboration with the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and its Youth Initiative (SDSN Youth), will host the fourth edition of the Vatican Youth Symposium within the headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Casina Pio in the Vatican City.
