Youth representatives and young leaders in social media gathered Wednesday at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to discuss what the future holds for young innovators.
The U.N. Economic and Social Council, ECOSOC, sponsored a series of panels centered around the campaign for Youth to "Innovate Your Future." Check out five out five of our favorite speakers in the gallery above.
The U.N. also announced the new Thunderclap campaign for youth to share their voices to inspire the world to improve lives with science, technology, innovation, and culture.
