After an extensive selection process, the Istanbul Youth Summit welcomed over 200 delegates from various countries, including Yemen, Turkey, Sudan, Singapore, Poland, Russia, Oman, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mongolia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and more. Delegates had the option for self-funded or fully-funded registration and represented both individuals and institutions from their respective countries. Additionally, delegates were given the opportunity to form Social Project groups with fellow delegates, allowing them to build networks across different nations.
However, those from institutions that collaborate with Youth Break The Boundaries can get the opportunity to remain with their group if necessary. Istanbul Youth Summit 2024 also provides the opportunity for delegates to choose the sub-themes they wish to present. After that, the Youth Break The Boundaries team will distribute groups based on the delegate’s choice. The total social project groups for the Istanbul Youth Summit 2024 number around 15 groups based on sub-theme choices.
For the sub-theme SDG 13: Climate Action, there are two groups; for SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, there are two groups; SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, there are two groups; and the largest sub-theme is SDG 4: Quality Education, with four groups. Each group has a leader appointed by the Youth Break The Boundaries team, but we also allow the group to elect their leader if needed. Below are the appointed leaders for each social project group at the 2024 Istanbul Youth Summit:
