About International Youth Initiative

IYI, or the International Youth Initiative, is a student-run organization that aims to address some of India’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental issues today. The International Youth Initiative Conference intents at providing quality platform for students that bring together the next generation of international leaders. We prepare the participants to be better global citizens through excellent educational experiences that emphasize collaboration and cooperative resolution of conflict. We envision a world comprised of civically engaged people who strive for peaceful, multi-lateral conflict resolution and equitable, sustainable human development. The mission of IYI’s conference is to inspire Indian youth to deliberate, debate, and discuss their ideas for India’s future, and in this undertaking begin the process of shaping the India of tomorrow. The conference brings together 375 of India’s most accomplished students and young professionals, and offers them the unique opportunity of interacting and engaging with 70+ speakers, each of whom have made a deep impact on the trajectory of our country. Our conference is setup so that there are keynotes and panel discussions. Keynotes are where speakers address all the 350 delegates directly and speak about something they find important (within the guidelines given to them); panels are more intimate discussions fostered by limiting the number of participants. Multiple equally engaging panels run simultaneously, allowing all our participants to join the discussion. In these panels, multiple speakers explore an issue through a moderated discussion.
