Japan Youth Summit (JYS) is an international youth leadership and innovation program organized by the Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB) Foundation. Hosted in Japan, the summit brings together young leaders, innovators, and changemakers from around the world to exchange ideas, collaborate, and develop innovative solutions to global challenges.
The program aligns with key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
Through panel discussions, leadership sessions, and the International Innovative Competition, participants strengthen their critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills while working on SDG-based initiatives. Delegates collaborate in diverse teams to design innovative projects that aim to create sustainable social, economic, and environmental impact.
Japan Youth Summit is more than a conference. It is a global platform that empowers young people to become innovative leaders who are ready to contribute to a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future.
