Open to: participants from all over the world
Venue: 16– 18 June, 2017, at Kadir Has University, Istanbul
Description
Youth unemployment is one of the major problems that the youth face in the Middle East & North Africa. As the region experiences one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world, the Co-Opinion Network has unbundled this topic and analyzed its dimensions by organizing thematic workshops, panels, and bilateral meetings as well as engaging in research activities so far.
The summit is an international certificate program that brings together undergraduate and graduate students, young activists and professionals, young entrepreneurs, representatives of NGOs, academics, and journalists. In the 2nd Annual Youth Summit, young leaders, young academics, and young professionals will find the chance for discussing this issue with prominent policymakers and distinguished intellectuals.
The discussants will particularly focus on three issues with respect to youth unemployment:
- entrepreneurship & innovation;
- education policies;
- sustainable & inclusive growth.
