14th University Scholars Leadership Symposium at the United Nations

From Youth to Changemakers - Live at the United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok

For the next generation of global changemakers, USLS is where it all starts.

USLS isn’t just a few days at a symposium - it’s a launchpad. Delegates leave with real confidence, real skills, and a global mindset to start initiatives, lead change, and make an impact that actually matters.

At USLS, you’ll learn that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary isn’t talent - it’s intention, action, and showing up with purpose.

What You’ll Do on the UN Global Stage

  • Build Real Skills
    Join interactive, hands-on workshops led by United Nations agencies and gain practical tools to tackle real-world global challenges.
  • Discover How the UN Works
    Explore a curated UN exhibition and get a behind-the-scenes look at global initiatives, multilateral systems, and sustainable solutions in action.
  • Connect with Global Leaders
    Engage with inspiring speakers, humanitarian professionals, and driven peers from around the world in a diverse, inclusive space.
  • Turn Empathy into Action
    Be part of Kindness Day - a community service experience where compassion becomes a real, measurable social impact.

USLS is not a lecture. It’s an experience.
It lights the spark, challenges your thinking, and pushes you to step into your power.

This is where youth voices matter.
This is where future leaders rise.
This is where your impact begins.
