About International Youth Conference 8

The International Youth Conference (IYC) is a direct result of a call to action for youth attending the 68th UN Civil Society Conference (UNCSC), held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, from 26 to 28 August 2019 with the support of the UN Civil Society Unit, Department of Global Communications and UN-Habitat.

IYC is an action-oriented, safe-dialogue platform led by youth leaders focusing on a different theme in every upcoming edition. 8th edition of IYC took place from 21 to 24 September 2023 in hybrid mode in the New York City area in New York, USA in partnership with Journalists and Writers Foundation (JWF) and other partners.
