The International School of Zug and Luzern’s Youth Forum Switzerland (YFS) is the creation of a group of globally engaged high school students, who attended the WEF - Open Forum Davos event in January 2017. Their transformative experience inspired them to organize an event in the same spirit, with the aim of giving youth a voice in issues that will impact their future.
Funded by contributions from parents, teachers and other community members of our non-profit school, the Youth Forum Switzerland is a full day symposium comprising panel discussions, talks, and interactive activities centered on youth engagement in prevalent issues.”
