This session is part of the Vatican Youth Symposium. The Symposium, in its ninth year, has developed into a leading global forum for young leaders in sustainable development and an intergenerational platform for building social movements.
This year's theme, “Voices of Change: Sparking Hope with Sustainable Solutions,” will prompt participants to consider how youth can envision and create a form of progress that — in the word of Pope Francis — is “healthier, more human, more social and more integral.”
