Charter for Compassion Global Youth Conference 2026 Session Proposals

Mark your calendars for the third edition of the Charter for Compassion Global Youth Conference, centered on the theme Radical Compassion in Action for Justice, taking place virtually on September 23–24, 2026.

This conference will bring together young leaders, activists, educators, and changemakers from around the world to amplify youth voices driving more just, inclusive, and compassionate futures. Following the success of the 2024 and 2025 CFC Global Youth Conferences, this year we will deepen our focus on the intersection of compassion and justice.

As we continue to bear witness to escalating conflicts across the world, justice is an urgent global imperative and no longer an abstract ideal. Across contexts, young people are witnessing and experiencing the consequences of unjust systems, while also organizing, resisting, and reimagining what a more equitable world can look like. Our collective humanity calls for courageous compassion, accountability, and sustained action.

Rooted in the true meaning of radical, from radix, meaning “root,” the conference theme invites participants to move beyond surface level responses and address the root causes of injustice. Through powerful conversations, lived experiences, and interactive sessions, participants will engage with diverse global perspectives, examine the realities of justice in practice, and build meaningful connections across cultures and contexts.

Designed to inspire and equip, this global gathering offers tools and frameworks for values based action across communities and contexts. While youth remain at its core, the conference welcomes an intergenerational community committed to collective impact.

We invite you to co create this movement by leading a session.

Please review this information document carefully before submitting your proposal.

Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis beginning Monday, May 25, 2026, and must be submitted no later than Tuesday, August 18, 2026.

With gratitude,
The Charter for Compassion Global Youth Network
