Adolescents who act. Cities that listen.

Global Learning Forum 2026

Join us for an inspiring gathering where young voices shape urban futures. Experience meaningful dialogue, innovative projects, and collaborative solutions that bridge generations and transform communities.

What is the Global Learning Forum?

A global learning space where HCA practitioners connect experiences for local and global impact.

The GLF is designed to feel open, participatory and grounded in real life. It brings adolescents and urban practitioners into conversation, creating space to listen, reflect and learn together.

Rather than formal panels or one-way presentations, the Forum centres on dialogue, shared experiences and collective thinking — allowing learning to emerge through connection, curiosity and collaboration across different contexts.
