We are pleased to announce that on 20 April 2026, the Global Youth Dialogue Among Civilizations Alliance (GYDCA) and Echo Change signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), opening a strategic collaboration on global youth dialogue and international cooperation.
The partnership sets a shared framework for the co-creation of international conferences and initiatives, pooling the networks, expertise and resources of both organisations. Under the agreement, the two parties will work closely on programme design, content development, speaker engagement, knowledge sharing and event coordination to build global platforms for youth engagement, intercultural dialogue and policy exchange.
Through this collaboration, GYDCA and Echo Change will jointly contribute to:
- Strengthening youth participation in global conversations
- Promoting intercultural understanding and dialogue among civilizations
- Supporting innovative, high-impact international events and initiatives
- Expanding opportunities for knowledge exchange and long-term cooperation
Looking ahead, both organisations are committed to a partnership with real momentum — exploring new joint initiatives and helping young people take an active hand in shaping a more inclusive, connected and sustainable future. We look forward to working closely together and bringing this collaboration to life.
