What is INSPIRE.D
The youngest yet most energetic event of the World Youth Forum, where ambitious young stories get shared with the world.
INSPIRE.D is a platform and stage that gives the opportunity to those under 40 with a story worth telling. It takes place on the theatre stage in the World Youth Forum in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and is planned to take place annually.
Speakers have a window of 18 minutes to speak on the INSPIRE.D stage with an expected audience of 1k-2k attendees LIVE and might have the opportunity to have their stories shared with the world online after the forum.
Some of the main topics covered so far:
– Solving world problems, such as lack of clean water through genuine innovations
– Life experiences that challenge the status quo: through struggle, persistence, resilience & hard work
– Family values that build better surroundings for upcoming generations
- Inspiring stories about young creators who give others hope and practical solutions through technology and education
etc.
INSPIRE.D highlights talks and stories of inventions, survivals, key successes, diversified perspectives, humane stories & other major topics. If you think that you have an impactful story that could influence others to make the world a better place if you dream to reach out to others and want to communicate your survival through a world-class event, and if you are with an innovation or invention that needs international exposure, you might still have a chance to become part of INSPIRE.D community on our upcoming World Youth Forum just like our former INSPIRE.D speakers
