Overview: 2020 GYEO Content Sharing

As the 2020 GYEO Summit pivots to online engagement we have adapted our traditional “Call for Proposals” process to support the new approach, with a focus on learning and information sharing through live online events and related resources hosted on the GYEO Summit site.

​

We invite those in our Summit community and beyond to contribute to the 2020 virtual engagement activities in a number of ways:

​

  1. Submit a proposal to be included as a live or pre-recorded session under one of our four technical tracks between now and October. Space is limited, see guidelines below.

  2. Contribute relevant technical content that speaks to the emerging topics and themes under the 2020 focus on, “Re-Imagining Youth Economic Opportunity in a Post-COVID-19 World”. See guidelines below.

  3. Sponsor a GYEO technical track to co-host a live online event (anticipated every two months) between now and the fall of 2020. See our Partner page to learn more.

​

​The aim of our 2020 approach is to connect our GYEO community’s collective expertise and promote collaboration as we respond to and recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people globally. We will prioritize critical learning and information that contributes to this agenda, is open-access, actionable, and inclusive of young people.
