The Summit will provide students the opportunity to connect and collaborate with fellow young leaders and changemakers in-person, as well as learn from high-level experts, world and religious leaders, and prominent activists.

Inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity and the papal encyclical ‘Fratelli Tutti,’ the Summit will include in-person lectures and labs that prepare students to execute a project related to human fraternity, peace, and coexistence. The Summit will center on the following four pillars:
