Young Minds Meet Space Leaders: Words Into Action
Eager to see how young people’s ideas can influence the future of space policy and exploration? Hear the winners of the Space4Youth competition launched by UNOOSA in collaboration with SGAC pitch their ideas on how space can help sustainable development to space leaders and get their feedback on how to bring their ideas to the next level at this session. The resulting matchmaking between youths and space leaders may result into concrete projects. Join us and contribute to the intergenerational discussion on the future of space!
