Welcome to the Global Youth Summit for FoRB!
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” —Margaret Mead
About the Summit: The Global Youth Summit is a first-of-its-kind virtual gathering, dedicated to promoting freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all. Through dynamic discussions facilitated by Open Space Technology, we aim to foster an environment where ideas flourish, innovation thrives, and young voices take center stage.

- Find support for your own ideas, or find opportunities to join others in their powerful work advancing freedom of religion or belief in your community and around the world
What to Expect:
“The man who think he can and the man who think he can’t are both right.” —Confucius
