charging for applications (not actual participation), unsure of the veracity of the site. It has a lottery component to it. Who can we contact to follow up for feedback?

I was expecting more people, more engagement, more initiatives, less boring more activities, I came from very far away from this, I thought it was something else, bigger, more international, more professional

I attended the Young Global Convention with high expectations, as the platform brings together motivated and talented young delegates from diverse backgrounds. The intent and vision of the convention are commendable, and the enthusiasm of the participants was evident throughout. However, the overall management and organization could be significantly improved. On the first day, the program started quite late, which affected the momentum and energy of the event. Many young delegates felt disengaged. Clearer communication and better time management would have helped maintain enthusiasm and respect participants’ schedules. That said, the networking opportunities and the diversity of perspectives were valuable, and the convention has strong potential to become a truly impactful global platform. With better logistical planning, stricter adherence to schedules, and more proactive coordination, future editions of the Young Global Convention could offer a much stronger and more inspiring experience for its delegates. I hope this feedback is taken in the constructive spirit intended, as the initiative itself is important and worth strengthening.

The convention was advertised as though it would give us a transformative experience and shape the future but so far I didn't see any of that. The institution need to work on bringing more challenging topics that would build us. The topics we discussed today were too light and wasn't exactly worth the time and effort we took to come to Italy. Further, the facilitators need more energy and enthusiasm. The session was a bit dull in the morning, no ice breaker or energizer was done. So far, the concept around the convention and the implementation thereof do not align.

This is my second time applying to a HISA program thinking it would be better than the last one, but it was just as bad. Im not sure if this was the coordinators’ first time in managing such a project because the logistics were terribly executed. First, it’s standard practice to extend a day prior for the participants to check in to the hotel, and not the day of. The fact that so many delegates had to book hotels just bc they came early was absurd. Second, what’s up with the fee collection upon arrival? Is that even legal? There was no other explanation on the TOR as to what it was for so I hope you will provide us all with an invoice & detailed explanation as we need it for work. Third, why are the fully funded participants paying for their own expenses and to be reimbursed later??? All expenses should be covered from the very beginning and I hope reimbursement doesn’t take more than a week! Fourth, this is supposedly a youth event but was open to people up into their 40s??? They should have served as mentors or experts and not as youth delegates as it takes away the experience for actual youth delegates in the discussions. Fifth, if you’re gonna put people in rooms together, make sure they both have keys from the get-go! Sixth, the venue could have been in the city and that would have definitely enhanced our experience. Pretty sure there were hotels that were around the same price as the one we stayed in. Seventh, if you’re going to have this many people attend, you have to make an agenda that serves the interest of the majority, and I feel like the program fell short of that. Eighth, make sure to make important announcements or changes at least 2 days in advance and not the night prior, including asking people to be panelists. The only reason I even have a review of two stars is bc I made great friends because if not it would have been zero stars. I hope HISA is able to take into consideration all of these feedback in order to improve your next events.

I think the organizer should be more presentable with the agenda. This agenda is so mess up and I cannot find the purpose of the event. Me and my friend travelled so far with my friend. We were hoping to get more into SDGs more than we experienced in this event. Too many photo session
