NGDS - NextGen Diplomats Summit 2026

In an increasingly interconnected world, the role of youth—particularly international students and young civil society leaders—has never been more vital in shaping global diplomacy, policy, and soft power.

The NextGen Diplomats Summit brings together a dynamic network of students, academics, policymakers, and NGO leaders to explore how young voices can influence international relations, foster cross-cultural dialogue, and drive sustainable global engagement.
