OUR CORE TEAM
GET TO KNOW US!
We’re a group of undergraduate students from different universities and backgrounds passionate about driving change for our society. We’ve had many different opportunities to learn about social issues in our undergraduate years, whether it be through exploring Sweden’s waste management techniques by spending an exchange semester in Stockholm University or learning about local sustainability practices in Thailand’s rural areas. Although we have different experiences and backgrounds, one thing that we share in common is our passion for changing the world for the better, in the ways we can. We strongly believe in the power of youth in being the drivers of future change. As we have gotten numerous different opportunities to learn about social change, we wanted to extend this opportunity for younger youths to learn more about social issues in their highschool years. Being aware of global and local issues is the first step to being the solution to them in the future. We would like to empower youths to know that everyone is capable of contributing to achieve the SDGs within their spheres of influence. Therefore, we teamed up to initiate this event, making this effort truly for youths, by youths.
Prima Pupornchai
Founder, President
Youths are the changemakers of our society. We’re the believers of a better world and of creating that world. Youths can be the change we wish to see in our world. That is why I initiated this event, to create a change in my community along with many other passionate youths.
Palis (Fresh)Pisuttisarun
Co-Conference Director
I'm absolutely thrilled knowing that organising this event will inevitably start worthwhile conversations in the local community, and prove to everyone that real change is never out of reach!
Pasawat (Tang Tae) Sakulpanich
Co-Conference Director
Having attended the conference last year, I gained so many new perspectives and ideas from fellow students and left the event feeling inspired and empowered. This is why I came back!

It’s a great opportunity to be able to witness the innovation, ideas, and the young minds that would make the change to our world. “They are the seedlings of our future”.
Bhumikorn (Bhu) Kongtaveelert
Discussion Director,

I believe changes for the future starts today, and this event is a project incubator for young changemakers to learn more about ways they can make a difference. I cannot wait to see creative solutions to our local problems!

MEET OUR YOUTH LEADERS
As an attempt to include youths in our efforts of creating the event, we opened up the opportunity to high schoolers who are already familiar with and passionate about social issues to help lead this event with us. We proud to present to you our 16 youth leaders, from different international schools, who share the same passion for solving social issues. They would be leading the discussions in the Breakout Session and activities in the Sustainability Quest. And we’re thrilled to be collaborating with them. Hearing about the creative ideas they have in store, we can’t wait to share it with you!
