BINUS Youth Leaders’ Summit 2025: Building a World in Motion

With the theme “A World in Motion: Future Leaders with Vision,” the BINUS Youth Leaders’ Summit (BYLS) 2025 brought together passionate and determined students from eight schools across Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan. More than just a gathering, this summit served as a transformative experience where young minds united to learn, collaborate, and inspire one another to become leaders of tomorrow.

Over the course of the program, participants engaged in a wide range of workshops, interactive discussions, and leadership development activities. Each session was carefully designed to sharpen essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork, while encouraging students to reflect on the kind of positive impact they want to make in their communities. These activities were not just about gaining knowledge, but about fostering a deeper understanding of leadership in a rapidly changing world.

What made BYLS 2025 truly remarkable was the diversity of perspectives and cultures represented. Students came from different countries, backgrounds, and experiences, yet were united by the shared vision of creating a better future. Through collaboration, they discovered that leadership transcends borders, and that the challenges of the modern world like climate change, digital transformation, social justice, and global connectivity, require solutions that can only be found through collective effort and cross-cultural dialogue.

Beyond the structured programs, the summit also provided opportunities for meaningful friendships and networks to be built. Laughter, ideas, and dreams were exchanged as students connected not just as peers, but as global citizens. In these bonds lies the heart of BYLS: the belief that leadership is not a solitary journey, but one that flourishes when young leaders walk side by side with others, learning and growing together.

As the summit concluded, it became clear that the spirit of BYLS 2025 would not end with the event itself. The participants now return to their schools and communities with renewed confidence, vision, and determination to take action. Whether through small steps or big initiatives, they are ready to be catalysts for change, leaders who embrace a world in motion with clarity, courage, and compassion.
