The Global Youth Cultural Summit (GYCS) is an international forum for youth to contribute their ideas to the fulfillment of the UN Millennium Development Goals due for 2015.

GYCS aims at fostering better understanding across various cultures, facilitating international relations between countries and strengthening international cooperation focusing on youth and culture.

The summit will gather 400 youth, selected from all over the world through a YouTube video / essay competition (see Website for more details). Young people applying to GYCS are challenged to present a creative idea to help the fulfillment of one of the MDGs, leveraging their own cultural background and perspective in the process.
