The Future Action Summit offers two categories of funding, Fully Funded and Partially Funded, to support participants in covering their event-related expenses. A nominal non-refundable application fee of $19.99 applies to fully and partially funded applicants.
Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. All applications are thoroughly reviewed by an independent selection panel through a competitive and merit-based evaluation process.
(Top 10 applicants will receive fully funded slots, while the next 20 will be awarded partially funded slots. Please note that the partially funded slots do not include round trip airfare, as airfare is only covered for fully funded participants.)
The Future Action Summit will feature a dynamic mix of workshops, training, presentations, and panel discussions designed to empower youth to lead sustainable change. Participants will engage in interactive sessions on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), develop impactful project ideas, and collaborate across cultures to build innovative solutions for global challenges.
From expert-led discussions and hands-on strategy building to cultural exchanges and simulation activities, the summit offers a transformative platform for learning, networking, and action.
