Discussing the perspectives of Intangible Heritage, Digital Citizenship,
and Diversity.
Changing the current perspective, and stating that global citizenship is
about acceptance, acting globally while not denying original nationality,
nor heritage. Additionally, introducing what is called, digital citizenship,
where can have virtual & digital access to all nations without boarders.
Global citizenship is about the concept that one’s identity is not limited
to geography or political boarders, and one’s responsibility and rights
are based on humanity. But this does not promotes the concept of
denouncing one’s nationality or other local identities.

Aspects of Global Citizenship
Geography, Sovereignty, and Citizenship are being redefined by the
electronic means of interactions. Face-to-face meetings are now replaced
with electronic conference meeting, not being limited by space, time, or
language. The UN General Assembly declarations are now more
practically adopted, and in specific; the “The Universal Declaration of
Human Rights” expressed in several articles in which; article 1 and 2 now
became more easier to comply with.
Article 1 states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity
and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act
towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
Article 2 states that "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms
set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race,
colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinions, national or
social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction
shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international
status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be
independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of
sovereignty."

Citizenship

Earth Anthem
Authored by Shashi Tharoor, with the aim that the Earth Anthem when
sung across the world can influence and inspire the global citizenship
among people. In this platform, we call for a new Earth Anthem that is
created by youth, without limits.
Benefits of Global Citizenship
The global citizenship inspires the youth to make better understanding
of the world events, and take learning from anywhere in the world.
Promoting the good values, the best practices, and bringing them into
the real world. Develop the sense of valuable criticism, and voicing the
point of views. Most important, realising that the Youth have the power
to think globally, act effectively locally, and influence the world.
What we want to achieve?
Updating the World Citizen Flag, Composing a New Earth Anthem,
establish the World’s First Digitalised Youth Parliament, and establish the
Global Citizen Card.

Citizenship

Sharing the opportunities and experiences in eCommerce, Innovation,
and Digital Marketing.
The stories started with the purpose to create value and solve a problem,
this is how the young entrepreneurs started their journey. The amount of
startups founded by young entrepreneurs in the age of 18 to 35 is rapidly
increasing and demanding the global commerce ecosystem to reshape
its boundaries and policies. One of the leading reasons behind the rapid
increase, is the limitless boundaries of the internet, and the global
logistics networks.
At United Nations level, a large movement in the social enterprises to
promote the importance of entrepreneurship for social changes. As
quoted “Entrepreneurs for Social Change foresees the empowerment of
young entrepreneurs at the regional level in a comprehensive manner,
for these to be able to induce positive social change in their communities
through entrepreneurship and innovative business ideas. By providing
viable and innovative solutions to economic and social issues at the local,
national and regional levels and by showcasing the benefits and value of
social entrepreneurship to policymakers and other relevant stakeholders,
the ecosystem will be strengthened, and young social entrepreneurs will
be able to trigger social transformation in their communities, and thereby
contribute to sustainable development in the region.” This movement is
supported by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation
(UNIDO).

Discussing the empowerment of women in the aspects of Social,
Economic, and Professional.
The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are established to set the
guidance for all societies, governments, and businesses. The women’s
empowerment is not only about gender equality, but furthermore, about
the opportunities, the leadership, and success. The principles states that
women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace, and community
starts by; 1. Establishing high-level corporate leadership of gender
equality, 2. Treating all women and men fairly at work by respecting and
supporting human rights and nondiscrimination, 3. Ensuring the health,
safety, and well-being of all women and men workers, 4. Promoting
education, training, and professional development for women, 5.
Implementing institutional development, supply chain, and marketing
practices that empowers women, 6. Promoting equality through
community initiatives and advocacy, and 7. Measuring and publicly
reporting on progress to achieve gender equality.
With the high influence to drive Women’s Empowerment, the UN
established UN Women’s to support inter-government bodies on the
status of women in the formulation of their policies, global standards,
and norms. Furthermore, to help the member states to implement such
standards to nurture effective partnerships with civil society. The UN
Women established as part of the UN reform agenda, to bring together
resources and mandates for more effective impact.

New Perspective of Women’s Empowerment Principles
Drawn by the fact that the current WEPs are based on a guideline for
businesses, it is about the Youth Women to initiate the full framework for
Women’s Empowerment that expands the applicability not only to
businesses, but for inclusion of Social, Economic, and Professional
aspects.
Establish the Women’s Empowerment Framework, kick-off the Women’s
Global Marketplace, integrate the Women’s Global Marketplace with
logistics networks, and shape the Feminism Movement into the Women’s
Empowerment Framework.

Shaping the future of living by integration of IoT, Robots, and Smart
Cities.
Smart living is about optimising the usage of resources while maintaining
the availability, and quality. Currently, several aspects has defined smart
living, but non had agreed on a consistent and uniformed definition of
smart living. The best definition would come from the youth who live the
smart life, and who had made smart living possible.
Aspects of Smart Living
Several aspects are connected to environmental optimisation such as;
Smart water, Smart Lighting, Smart Buildings, and Smart Environment.
Smart Water is about knowing the data of water supply as such pressure,
temperature, purity, and detection of leaks across the cities. The Smart
Lighting is about knowing the right amount of light needed, at the right
time, at the right location, without wasting energy, and not
compromising on lighting availability. Smart traffic is about the smart
control of traffic flow to reduce congestions to help cut on heat, fuel
waste, and saving time of users of the roads. The Smart Parkings is about
reduction of spaces, and increasing availability by going vertical rather
than horizontal, to make more space for better utilisation. Smart
Buildings is about connecting data to usage, and detecting the flaws and
the opportunities to optimise in water usage, electricity usage, and space
usage.

Discussing what is entertaining now.
Entertainment is a class of activities where it brings the attention and
stimulates interest, pleasure, and a sense of delight to the user.
Entertainment can be brought in different media such as stories,
television, radio, theater, cinematics, music, dance, and many other forms.
Media and culture is now shaping the entertainment through a radical
disruption over the last decades. With the introduction of internet, social
media, and user-generated contents; the disruption became more
frequent, and has made it even easier to innovate new ways of
entertainment.
Global Case
With the rapid growth of technology, people tend to communicate
virtually, and digitally; making the physical-based entertainment a
second choice to many. How would the youth still achieve the same level
of amusement and interest why keeping everything digital? As a global
case, the youth should maintain a better balance between technology,
and the physical presence in the entertainment events. But more
interesting, what about combining both?

Discussing the physical, VR & AR integration, and eSports.
Sports as a definition was based on the physical activity put with skills in
which teams or individuals compete for winning. Although that in sports
there always be one top winner, the sports spirit should always be there.
The physical need of sports has brought limitations to different users, by
which the users are required to have the physical presence and the
physical capability to do the sport. Paralympics were a partial solution to
such scenario, but still sports were still undoable by many.
Video games disrupted the entertainment industry, and not long enough,
has also disrupted the sports industry. Calling it now eSports to promote
the sports spirit and competition in the sports based video games. Many
gaming developers introduced physically interactive kits as such Virtual
Reality and Augmented Reality are part of the game. But the most
important question is, how VR, AR, eSport are shaping the sports
industry?

Discussing the 3Rs, Energy Saving, and Water Saving products.
The environmental products has been declared in the Environmental
Product Declaration (EPD), and classified as Type III. The definition is as
per the International Standards Organisation (ISO) 14025. This states
that “quantifies environmental information on life cycle of a product to
enable comparison between products fulfilling the same function.”
However, with a standardised scopes, methods, and reporting, the EPD
value will be limited, and non significant.
In this platform, we call for entrepreneurs who work on developing
environmental products to develop further by defining their products,
then develop the Life Cycle Assessment on the products, furthermore;
establish the EPD reporting for registering their products as
Environmentally Declared Products.

Benefits of Environmental Product Declaration
The EPD communicates the environmental performance of a product /
material through out its life cycle. This will provide access to compare
other EPD data of similar products and materials to optimise and choose
the most sustainable option. The certification of the product will add a
positive value statement to the product by addressing issues of climate
change, carbon impact, and environmental footprint.
Help register at least 10 products, promote the concept and benefits of
EPD, marketplace for Environmental Products, and link the EPD to the
Entrepreneurship Ecosystem.

Discussing the challenges, investments, and opportunities.
The transition to the adulthood has always been an issue and hard time
for many of the youth. This is because access to financial and social assets
is limited, and creates further complication on the quality of life.
Statistically, less than 5% of youth have a saving account before they face
issues of access to financial services.
Based on UN program of Youth Financial Inclusion, the youth will still face
many issues in regards to financial access, including many barriers in
several aspects. However, many recommendations were raised by
officials in certain dialogues capturing this issue.

Discussing the competencies gap, digital education, and future needs.
Learning is an endless journey in one’s life, we start from learning how to
stand, to walk, and further to the highest degrees and certifications. But
from another perspective, learning is linked to education in many
aspects, and this leads stereotypes; where an educated people, are not
learners. Education has been available to many, but unfortunately, is not
accessible to many also. As youth, we discuss the accessibility to
education as a right to everyone, regardless. As concept, learning is not
limited only to education, but also to life experience, to training, to
sharing the knowledge, and creating value out of words.
The real question, is what to learn now for a better future. The concept of
competency as the major contributor rather than the degrees has
evolved in many leading companies around the world. However, many
youth and many organisation lack the adequate, consistent, and
standardised framework for competencies assessment. The future is
about knowledge, competencies, and the integration of both.

Training

The global competence is a tool to an extent to examine local, global,
and intercultural issues, moreover; understand and appreciate the
perspectives and world views of others. Further, to engage in open,
appropriate, and effective interactions across cultures. This is to be able
to take actions for collective well-being and sustainable development. It
is based on knowledge, values, attitude, and skills. This global
competence assessment is developed for PISA by OECD.
Aspects of Education and Training
1. Selecting the right path of education
2. Enhancing the education with vocational training
3. Develop hand-on experiences to use the knowledge
4. Integration of knowledge and skills to leverage competency
5. Being aware of job market changes and grasp competitive advantages
Establish a standardised competencies assessment framework, help at
least 100,000 youth in identifying their gaps, and recommend
improvements, and establish the self-employment career ladder to excel
as young directors
