The profits of the Congress will be used to cover the students’ trip to participate in this event.
The congress will address four thematic axes: Human beings and Nature, Our Future, Fourth Industrial Revolution, and Social Changes. In addition, young leaders of the country will have a space to present their projects. The attendants and the speakers will look for solutions to the most important problems of each axis.
