"An irreplaceable, collaborative and educational experience"
Youth Summits
What is a Youth Summit ?
The Youth Summit is a two-day immersive experience organized by DMECC/HEBE, a youth-led initiative dedicated to education and leadership. Throughout the summit, participants will collaborate in teams to develop innovative solutions to real-world issues presented by NGO partners, deepening their understanding of global challenges. Activities include AI and blockchain games, a global environment simulation, debate sessions, and engaging talks from guest speakers. Together, these elements create a comprehensive and transformative learning experience designed to inspire and empower the next generation of young leaders.
Why Should You Participate ?
Youth Summits are designed to empower young leaders through a dynamic combination of training, mentorship, and community engagement. By participating, teens develop valuable leadership skills, gain hands-on experience, and have the opportunity to make a real difference in their communities. Youth Summits will grant participants unique insights into global issues, exposure to cutting-edge technologies, and the chance to develop innovative solutions alongside diverse peers.
More than just a learning experience, Youth Summits serves as a gateway to deeper involvement in our international leadership programs with DMECC in China and HEBE in France. Participants can embark on a potential multi-year journey, contributing to our core programs such as Mother English, Curious Kids, and Our Home. Through these programs, young leaders continue to develop their skills, engage with diverse communities, and make meaningful, lasting contributions on both local and global scales.
Voices from the Summit
The Youth Summit was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but by the end, I’d met people from all over the world, worked on challenges I actually cared about, and realized I’m capable of way more than I thought.
What stood out to me the most was how supported I felt. The workshops were intense but fun, and everyone—from the mentors to the other participants—made it such a positive space to grow. I left feeling confident, inspired, and ready to start something meaningful in my own community.
I came to the Youth Summit feeling nervous and unsure, but I left with new friends, new ideas, and a totally new mindset. It wasn’t just about learning—it was about realizing that we, as young people, actually have the power to make change happen.
