YOUNG LEADERS PROGRAMME
Cohort of 2023: It was one for the books!
The Young Leaders Programme is a special track of Urban Future events directed at passionate urban change-makers of 30 years or younger that want to change the future of our cities for the better. We’re proud to have EUROCITIES on board as content partner!
The Young Leaders Programme is a combination of skill workshops with renowned experts, exclusive networking formats and inspiring activities to get your own ideas ahead – all in the midst of participating in Europe’s largest event on sustainable cities at a highly reduced ticket rate.
The 2023 edition of the Young Leaders Programme took place on June 20th in Stuttgart, on the day prior to the Urban Future 2023 in which the programme is embedded. Should you be interested in joining the programme in 2024, head over HERE!
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
LEAD WITH US.
During the conference, Young Leaders have access to all “regular” conference sessions and workshops – plus exclusive programme and networking options specifically tailored to their needs. The aim of the programme is to get ambitious young CityChangers involved in the discussion about how our cities of the future should and will look like. We’re creating exclusive programme options that will push you and inspire you. These will provide you with a head full of new perspectives and a strong network for whatever career path you have chosen.
SKILL WORKSHOPS
LEARN FROM THE BEST
During these sessions, we’re connecting you with renowned experts from all over the world – on the topics of leadership, communication, or expanding your sphere of influence, for example. These workshops are focused on fostering skills and knowledge crucial to young leaders.
FIRESIDE CHATS
PERSONAL MEETINGS
These are discussions in small groups of 6-8 attendees. In very “honest” and personal sessions, community-, business-, and city leaders share very unique experiences (eg. of being a politician). This is your chance to bug them with your burning questions. In these sessions, there’s a strong focus on individual experiences, skills, motivation, and how to deal with frustrations along the way.
BRAINCYCLING SESSIONS
COLLABORATE
Get together with your fellow Young Leaders and discuss your own projects – to broaden your horizon and channel different approaches and perspectives on topics that are essential to your vision of changing cities for the better.
NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
ONE OF A KIND EXPERIENCE
We’re giving you exclusive networking options at the conference – for example at the official VIP and speakers’ reception – and will make sure that you get enough presence during the conference days: we want all conference participants to know who you are and to get to know you! This is your chance to get connected to almost 3,000 CityChangers!
