From the very beginning, the Economic Forum of Young Leaders has been striving to involve young people in discussions on the future of Europe and the world, as well as in decision-making processes that shape our reality. During the seventeen editions, thanks to the space for conversation, networking and integration, participants could establish international partnerships, implement joint projects, and even get their dream job. Over the past 17 years, the Forum Program has enriched young participants with knowledge, self-confidence, inspiration for action, and provided perspectives and new contacts. Thanks to this, after many years, many participants returned to the Forum - as event partners, experts and speakers.
"Young leaders of the future" is the theme of the XVIII Economic Forum of Young Leaders - a partner event of the XXXII Economic Forum in Karpacz. The main objective of this year's Forum is to shape attitudes that will help to better manage personal budgets, as well as to develop public debate on economic, geopolitical, social and educational issues.
Participation in the Economic Forum of Young Leaders is a tremendous opportunity to meet like-minded young Europeans who share the common interests and values. Do not miss the chance to meet and discuss with experts and government officials who shape the future of Europe. Forum is very well-organized and it gives you possibility to equally split your time for networking session and panel discussions. These are the main reason why I participated in the Forum for four times in a row and still looking forward to be part of it. See you in Nowy Sącz!

I am very grateful that I got the chance to take part in Economic Forum of Young Leaders since it gave me an opportunity to engage in conversation with people whose opinion I share but also to understand better those who think differently than me and to see that we are more alike than I thought. Also, I was able to see other initiatives across Europe, get inspired and take a piece of that back home with me to my local community. Still thinking? I hope you do not! Apply and see where it will take you!

The Economic Forum for Young Leaders is therefore vital for the younger generation to communicate new ideas and connect with other like-minded individuals who have more experience in business to come up with innovative technologies that benefit society as a whole. I did not expect Poland to be so traditionally stunning; culture, architecture and hospitality, after the Second World War I thought that Poland would be more modern, instead of that I truly got the feeling it kept its beauty that I respect and love about it.
