Tsinghua Global Youth Dialogue (TGYD) is an initiative launched by Tsinghua University to create a global platform for youth leaders, envisioning "United Youth, Shared Future". It aims to gather outstanding young leaders worldwide, foster a global network of youth collaboration, and cultivate globally competent talent as its core mission. By establishing an ecosystem for mutual growth between Chinese and international youth, TGYD strives to become a forward-thinking international youth organization dedicated to contributing to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. In 2025, TGYD will center on the theme "Harmony Reaches Far, Paths Unite Us" and select 60 global youth leaders to engage in practical explorations and dialogues across Shenzhen, Guizhou, and Beijing from June 29 to July 10. The program will deepen mechanisms such as quantifiable and tiered mechanisms for international youth organization cooperation, case studies on future-oriented youth leadership development, and global competence assessment frameworks.
