France Global Youth Impact Summit 2027 (Fully Funded)

Imagine standing inside a UNESCO hall in Paris, drafting a youth declaration that world leaders will actually read. That vision becomes reality from 25 to 28 March 2027, when the Global Youth Impact Summit (GYIS) takes over Paris, France. The Council for Global Affairs & Development (CGAD) organizes this four day international gathering, and applications are open right now.

What Makes This Summit Different

GYIS 2027 focuses on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, peace, global cooperation, youth led development, leadership, diplomacy, and mediation. Moreover, it connects young changemakers with international policy and grassroots action. Consequently, delegates do not simply attend sessions. They shape conversations, build networks, and draft the Paris Youth Declaration 2027.
