KOREAN DIALOGUE WITHOUT BORDERS
International Forum We, the Youth comes to South Korea!

We believe in the transformative power of youth-led action for social justice and sustainability. That is why the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) is pleased to partner with Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) and Korean partners for the launch of the International Forum We, the Youth (IFWY)—a global platform putting youth at the forefront of change.
As part of this exciting initiative, UNRISD will co-host the first-ever IFWY Korean Dialogue without Borders, taking place at the MBC Training Center (Yangju-si, Kyeonggi-do) , on 11–12 October 2025.
This fully funded opportunity invites young leaders aged 18–35 to take the lead on Korea’s most urgent challenges. Fifty changemakers residing in South Korea or hold Korean citizenship will be selected to co-create youth-led solutions and recommendations around:
- Environment Sustainability
- Economic Transformation
- Social Justice and Equality
- Technological Innovations & Ethical Considerations
- Peace and Cooperation
- Collective Action, Solidarity & Democracy
Participants explore identity, social inclusion, and sustainability in the Korean context and co?create proposals to be presented at the Our Sustainable Future conference later from October 26 to 29, 2025.
This isn’t just another conference. It’s a youth-led, solution-driven space created to empower underrepresented voices across the region.
Are you—or someone in your network—ready to share their ideas to shape the future? Apply now and take your seat at the table.
