This is your
moment.
Youth Assembly 2025 kicks off International Civil Society Week (ICSW) with a dynamic, one-day gathering of young changemakers from around the world. Designed by and for youth, it’s a space to connect, organise, and influence the key conversations that will shape ICSW and beyond.
The Youth Assembly will be held in partnership with Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand, on 31 October 2025.

Programme
Highlights
The Youth Assembly will be held in person and will welcome 60–100 youth participants. Participants are strongly encouraged to stay on for the full ICSW 2025 experience (1–5 November) — to ensure deeper engagement and lasting impact.
We’ll be focusing on three key themes:
Defending Civic Space & Human Rights
What does youth resistance look like under pressure? We’ll spotlight organising in challenging contexts.
Intergenerational Solidarity & Power-Sharing
Inclusion isn’t enough — we’re rethinking leadership to ensure true power-sharing.
Resourcing Youth-Led Movements
Let’s break the cycle of underfunding. What does sustainable support really look like?
The Youth Assembly is built with youth leadership at its core – and that includes you. Have a session idea? Want to lead a dialogue or creative action? Bring your concept and voice to the table.
