Taiwan The world has been changing rapidly over the recent years. In this ever-changing world, how youth, as the future leaders may discover their own potential and create impact to the society. The theme of the upcoming IC will be "Youth Leadership" with the slogan "Youth Leadership sparks the world". There will be 3 main topic surrounding youth leadership, including Self-Fulfillment, Innovative Intergration, and Social Responsibility. We believe a series of pre-launching activities together with 10-day congress can inspire and nurture more youth to develop themselves with leadership.
