Preliminary Findings Report

Global Youth Movement and Youth Insight Survey powered by

On September 25th,The 193-Member United Nations General Assembly has formally adopted the 2030

Agenda for Sustainable Development, along with a set of bold, new Global Goals

Just 3 months after, AIESEC became the first NGO to organize an 3-days event at the UN HQ -The Youth Action Summit-

uniting young people with the private, public and civil society sector to define the role of youth in achieving the SDGs and

AIESEC’s commitment towards to make it happen.

The Way the World will be Shaped by 2030 Depends on Us [Youth]

YouthSpeak 2.0 Theme of the year

How can we engage Millennials to take action?YouthSpeak 2.0 Question of the year

DRIVERS IN LIFE

What is the decision making process for the millennials? What do they consider first? What drives them in life?

In order to answer this question we’ve built the YouthSpeak survey consisted of the following blocks:

WORLD IN 2030

How do young people envision their future? What’s the state of the world in 2030? What is important for them by

that year?

YOUTH FOR GLOBAL GOALS

The Global Goals Agenda is a plan for humanity to build a better world in the future. Do young people know about this plan? If yes, from where? What’s their attitude towards the SDGs?

LEADERSHIP

To mobilise young people to take action, a certain type of leadership is needed. What are the characteristics young

people want to see in leaders of today?

EDUCATION

Education is the most important issue for young people (based on YouthSpeak 1.0). To find the answer to our question, we need to dig deeper to understand what experiential learning means for young people?

ENGAGEMENT

Where do we find Millennials, whom they trust the most? What’s their attitude towards technology?

LEADERSHIP

In AIESEC we believe that Leadership is the fundamental solution to achieve peace and fulfilment of humankind potential. In order to get closer to this vision by 2030, we need young people to step up as

leaders to drive positive societal change. Therefore, it is imperative to understand who do young people consider as their role-models as leaders and which characteristics do they value the most.

It is a universally known fact that for long-term change to be driven, the youth of today have to play a key role in driving that change. But, how do we really sensitise the youth towards issues that matter?

How do we get crucial information to reach them effectively so that they listen, and then, act? We attempted to understand what channels of engagement the youth of today rely on!
