What an inspiring three days itโ€™s been! The 2024 Midyear Interactive Youth Forum, held from October 16-18 at the scenic Bohol Plaza Resort, brought together hundreds of passionate student leaders, volunteers and SAS Practitioners.

Through engaging discussions, workshops, and interactive activities, participants were empowered to make a difference in their communities, advocating for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focused on poverty, health, quality education, gender equality, climate action, and peace.

We are incredibly proud of our delegates who showcased commitment, leadership, and empathy, all while forging meaningful connections and collaborations. This event has truly ignited a new wave of changemakers ready to take action.
