Seoul, South Korea – Korea Youth Summit (KYS) 2026 brought together young people from different countries in Seoul, South Korea, creating a space for cultural exchange, project presentation, and international networking.
Organized by Youth Break The Boundaries (YBB), the summit combined structured sessions with opportunities for delegates to explore Seoul and engage with international peers. Participant feedback highlighted the value of these experiences in broadening perspectives, presenting ideas, and creating a welcoming environment for cross-border interaction.
A Platform to Present Ideas and Projects
For many delegates, the project presentation became one of the highlights of the summit.
Josephin Seraphin from Australia was particularly excited about meeting new people, explaining her project, and presenting her program. She described the overall experience as exceeding her expectations.
The presentation sessions therefore offered more than an opportunity to showcase individual work. They also allowed delegates to exchange ideas and learn about projects developed by young people from different backgrounds.
Experiencing Different Cultures and Perspectives
Cross-cultural exchange was another recurring theme in participant feedback.
David from China highlighted the opportunity to experience diverse cultures from around the world. Meanwhile, He Jiaxin from China enjoyed exploring Seoul with new international friends while gaining unique perspectives.
The summit also encouraged delegates to experience Korean culture alongside their international peers. Through these shared experiences, participants could engage with perspectives that differed from their own while developing a broader understanding of the world around them.
