Vatican Youth Symposium 2025


  • Casina Pio IV Città del Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City (map)

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.” The Symposium will take place on April 3-4, 2025, at the Casina Pio IV in the Vatican City.

Core sessions will be categorized into thematic areas split over two days: Education for Sustainable Development, Sustainable Urbanization, Human Rights and Dignity, Climate Action, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and the Role of Youth in the Post-2030 World. Speakers will present inspiring messages on these relevant topics and inspire participants to take action, engage in meaningful discussions, and contribute their ideas toward innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
