On July 10, 2024, Bali Land Transportation Polytechnic actively participated in the Japan Youth Summit 2024, held from July 1 – 4 in Osaka, Japan. The Youth Break The Boundaries (YBB) organization served as a platform for 100 young delegates from 28 different countries to collaborate in cultural exchange, ideas, innovation, and sustainable development. The summit not only showcased the rich culture of Japan but also explored each country’s contributions to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
One of the main components of the Japan Youth Summit was the SDGs Summit session, which highlighted the importance of these goals in designing a sustainable future for global society. The SDGs cover various aspects such as poverty eradication, climate change prevention, good health, quality education, and environmental sustainability. Through cross-cultural collaboration and innovative ideas from youth around the world, it is hoped that new solutions to global challenges will emerge.
Bali Land Transportation Polytechnic participation in this event not only expanded knowledge about the latest transportation and technology from Japan but also strengthened international relations. Maintaining strong international relationships is a crucial foundation for sustaining global peace and stability. The lasting impact of this activity is not only felt in the professional and personal development of the participants but also in strengthening international networks that support each other in achieving SDGs goals.
Therefore, the Japan Youth Summit 2024 has become a significant platform for shaping youth as responsible, creative, and highly competitive global change agents in facing complex and global future challenges.
