Mission and objectives

The Global Youth Conference on SDGs is an annual event for high school and university students, young professionals, and experts. It aims to build a global network of youth focused on the SDGs. Our vision is to be the go-to platform for youth to learn, start, and showcase their efforts towards achieving global goals.

Main activities with youth

Activities include conferences, mini-conference, plastic diet campaigns, SGDs and youth engagement workshops, and a webinar about SDGs and project management.

Their story

Precious Island, based in Bali, Indonesia, has been hosting workshops, webinars, and programs for students since late 2019. In November 2020, we launched the Global Youth Conference on SDGs, Indonesia’s first hybrid youth-run conference with full health protocols. Participation more than doubled from 686 in 2020 to 1650 in 2021, and we expanded to 33 provinces from 18. By 2022, we aimed to scale internationally and broaden our partnerships.
