2026 UN Youth Townhall Details

Convened by UN Youth Office with the support of partners, the UN Youth Townhall taking place in Heidelberg, Germany, 8-10 December 2026, is the first convening of its kind. 

The Townhall is a flagship convening of the UN Youth Compass which responds to the UN Secretary-General’s 2023 Policy Brief on Meaningful Youth Engagement and is anchored in the UN Youth Strategy (Youth2030), the youth-related commitments of the Pact for the Future, and Security Council resolutions 2250 (2015) and 2807 (2025) on Youth, Peace and Security.

The Townhall goes beyond dialogue by seeking to generate concrete recommendations, partnerships and opportunities for action. It will connect young people from diverse backgrounds with governments, the United Nations, civil society, the private sector and other partners, creating opportunities for continued engagement beyond the event.
