    Futurecasters: Global Young Visionaries Summit

    ​From 8 to 10 January 2020, ITU will welcome over 700 high school students from 50 schools in 25 countries worldwide. 

    The young students will be at ITU Headquarters to participate in the Futurecasters Global Young Visionaries Summit, co- organized by ITU and the Model UN programme of Ferney-Voltaire. 

    The Summit, built around the global success of the FerMUN Model UN led by the Lycée International Ferney Voltaire, which will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary, is a programme of youth-oriented consultations aimed at bringing the voices of young people to all major ITU development discussions and activities. 

    The theme of the conference is ‘Technology for Development’.

    Students will debate how technologies can be harnessed to advance progress towards the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and will discuss, with their unique cultural, personal perspectives and experiences, how the power of technology can change the world.
