Youth Programmes

5-12 July 2025: Reimaginging Democracy(ies) – Youth Programme (18 – 35 years)

Reimagining Democracy(ies) is a 7-day immersive leadership programme for 28 young changemakers (ages 18–35) to explore democracy not just as a system, but as a story we all have the power to shape. Held alongside the Caux Democracy Forum, the programme blends personal reflection, creative expression and political imagination to help young leaders reclaim narrative power and lead with empathy, integrity and purpose.

During both forums: Parallel Youth Programmes (13 – 18+ years)

The Caux Forum Summer Programme for Young Changemakers invites teens (ages 13–18) to join a vibrant, international community at the Caux Palace in Switzerland, where they’ll explore what it means to lead with purpose and values. Through hands-on workshops, creative expression and outdoor adventures, participants will connect with peers and mentors to reimagine democracy, develop leadership skills and take meaningful action in their communities.
