Istanbul Youth Summit 2027

The Istanbul Youth Summit (IYS) is a premier international platform that empowers young leaders to address global challenges through innovation, collaboration, and transformative leadership. Organized by the Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB) Foundation, IYS cultivates a dynamic environment where youth gain the confidence, skills, and global outlook needed to become catalysts for change.

More than just a gathering, IYS is a space where ideas come to life. Through inspiring talks, interactive sessions, and meaningful group activities, participants are encouraged to explore new perspectives, grow as leaders, and connect with youth from around the world. The summit promotes open dialogue and practical learning in a supportive and inclusive setting.

A highlight of the program is the Social Project Competition, which invites delegates to propose creative initiatives aimed at solving global issues or empowering their communities. It is an opportunity to turn ideas into action and make a lasting contribution with real impact.

At IYS, participants are not only learners but also active contributors. The summit offers opportunities for cultural exchange, collaboration, and lasting friendships among emerging leaders from different countries. With the support of experienced mentors and global peers, IYS helps shape a new generation ready to lead and inspire change across borders.
