Youth Consultation (November & December 2023)
  • In November, we are hosting an online consultation designed to ensure inclusivity and diversity in the consultation process. The questions used will be made available to a wider youth audience through digital platforms (X account @ECDEatUNCTAD). This presents an excellent chance for your students to engage in meaningful dialogue and contribute their insights to critical global conversations.
  • As part of the consultation, we are also hosting an AI-Facilitated Live Discussion on the opening day of the UNCTAD eWeek (Monday 4 December 2023), where a select group of youth representatives will participate in an AI-facilitated live discussion. This discussion aims to delve deeper into the insights gathered during the consultations and provide a dynamic exchange of ideas. In case of interest to attend this session, students should register and indicate that they are coming to joint he AI-facilitated discussions 
  • During the closing session of the UNCTAD eWeek (Friday 8 December 2023), a designated Youth Champion will present the outcomes of the consultations, including the insights from the AI-facilitated discussion.
