About Youth Forum Switzerland

Youth Forum Switzerland (YFS) is the creation of a group of globally engaged high school students at the International School of Zug and Luzern.

Students who had attended the World Economic Forum’s Open Forum Davos event in January 2017 found the experience transformative and were inspired to organize an event in the same spirit. YFS aims to give youth a voice in issues that will impact their future. Today the YFS Team has grown to over 75 students who work together to curate YFS.
