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.
YFS 2024 will mark the 7th Anniversary of the forum and this year over 120 students will work together to curate the event.
Funded by contributions from the ISZL Fund for Excellence, parents, and other community members of our non-profit school, the Youth Forum Switzerland is a full-day forum comprising panel discussions, talks, and interactive activities centered on youth engagement in prevalent issues.
Over 130 leading changemakers from around the world have participated in YFS over the past five years.
Over 900 high school students from Swiss and International Schools from across Europe and the United States attend YFS every year.
