Youth Time
International Movement is officially opening the application call for
Participants and Project Presenters for its fifth annual Youth Global Forum.
We as humanity are
rapidly moving towards a future where machines and technology are beginning to
dominate our daily routines. It seems that whether it be Education, Security,
Business or Manufacturing, no aspect of society will be exempt from the
continued integration of man and machine.
Over the course of the
Youth Global Forum, the topic of ‘’Inclusive Development vs Industry 5.0: Where
is the future?’’ will be discussed and with the help of a diverse range of
field experts and industry leaders, equip youth with the necessary tools to adapt
successfully to modern conditions.
Moreover, all
participants will benefit from several workshops,
keynotes and masterclasses led by some of the world’s foremost experts on the
matter of Industry 5.0 & Inclusive Development.
