The HISA Global Youth Convention 2026, a dynamic Sustainable Development Catalyst, hosted by the Headway Institute of Strategic Alliance (HISA), unites global change-makers for a 4-day summit in Casablanca, Morocco. Launched in 2021 with 10,000+ participants from 150+ countries, this annual gathering empowers students, volunteers, professionals, and SDG advocates to address UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), generating 120,000+ social media impressions. Held at Casablanca’s Palais des Congrès, it fosters cross-cultural collaboration, amplifying policy reforms and innovative solutions for issues like climate change and gender equity.
The agenda highlights five SDG pillars: SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), promoting mental health initiatives; SDG 4 (Quality Education), advancing digital literacy; SDG 5 (Gender Equality), empowering women’s leadership; SDG 13 (Climate Action), exploring renewable energy like Morocco’s Noor Solar Project; and SDG 17 (Partnerships), fostering global alliances. Past conventions, like GYC, featured 50+ workshops, with 90% of delegates reporting enhanced policy advocacy skills. Led by HISA’s policy experts and UN-affiliated speakers, the summit offers 20–25 hours of interactive sessions, including AI-driven data workshops, a trending tool in SDG monitoring. Flexible formats blend live panels with virtual breakouts, ensuring global accessibility.
Delegates access pre-summit e-training honing leadership and public speaking under HISA’s Public Policy Research Institute. Cultural immersions, such as Marrakech’s Medina tours and Fez’s artisan workshops, connect participants to Morocco’s heritage, with 95% of attendees citing enriched global perspectives. Networking forums, including GeNeX Micro-Grant pitches and SDG roundtables, generate 70,000+ impressions. Side events at Rabat’s Mohammed V University spark policy dialogues, aligning with Morocco’s 2 million+ annual visitors.
Since 2021, HISA’s GYC has empowered youth advocates like delegate from Kenya, whose micro-grant-funded health project impacted 1,000+ locals. Conducted in English with a 20–25-hour commitment, it ensures inclusivity for diverse delegates. The HISA Framework, rooted in innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, is endorsed by UNESCO and UN partners.
