Events
YOUNG MINDS Changemakers Summit 2024
YOUNG MINDS Changemakers Summit 2024 was an amalgamation of 50 selected young changemakers from all across India and the world for a Summit, solely focused on solution-centric conversations and discussing the way forward.
The Summit will took place in collaboration with and at the O.P. Jindal Global University, from 13th December to 15th December 2024.
Why the Summit?
Various problems exist at the global, national and local level and as important is it to discuss them, we cannot emphasize enough on the importance of working on solutions. Solution-centric conversation often gets ignored and that is the gap the Summit wishes to fill. The Summit wishes to enable cross-sectoral interactions and lead a solution-focused discussion. The selected changemakers will not only be sharing their work and solutions of the problems they are working on, but also participate in other consultations, enabling cross-sectoral deliberation and discussion on a way forward.
The Summit included:-
- Project Showcase (presentation of work by each changemaker)
- 4 Consultation sessions (on the 4 themes) in which all the changemakers participated
- Fireside Chat with Mr. William O'Connor, Deputy Counselor for Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Embassy India
