GLODEP CONFERENCE PANEL – Reimagining Development: Role of young leaders in Development As we reflect on the world around us – shaped by the turbulence and change of recent months – we are prompted to ask ourselves a vital question: How can we continue to contribute to building a world that is more peaceful and less divided? Even more importantly, what role can young people play in this journey? To explore these questions, we are bringing together a diverse panel of young individuals who, despite coming from different corners of the world, share common values. These inspiring voices are actively contributing to international development, whether through their professional paths or through meaningful, everyday actions in their communities. 📅 Date: 25th June 2025 📍 Venue: Olomouc and online ☎️ jiri.chovanecek@upol.cz overview video  conference video  Reimagined Development: The role of young leaders in development
