BHFF at YouthSpeak Forum 2025: Breaking the Cycle, Building the Future

On June 4th, Sarajevo became the gathering point for young changemakers, innovators, and future leaders at the YouthSpeak Forum, a global event organized by AIESEC and held in over 105 countries worldwide. This year’s Bosnian edition, under the theme #BreakTheCycle, brought together youth, companies, and organizations with a shared vision: to shape a more inclusive and sustainable future.

At its core, YouthSpeak Forum is a platform that amplifies the voices of young people, encourages dialogue on key societal challenges, and promotes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—with a particular focus this year on Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities. Through panel discussions, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, participants explored how they can become active contributors to positive change in their communities and beyond.

As a Foundation dedicated to the empowerment of youth through education, innovation, and leadership, BH Futures Foundation was proud to be part of this impactful event. Our presence at the YouthSpeak Fair enabled our volunteers to introduce the Foundation’s mission, programs, and opportunities to a diverse group of students and young professionals from across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“By participating in events like YouthSpeak, we not only connect with the next generation of leaders but also help them better understand the current job market, available opportunities, and how their skills can create real-world impact,” said one of our Foundation representatives.

Throughout the day, our team engaged in meaningful conversations, shared personal development stories, and built connections that will extend far beyond this event. Moments like these reinforce our commitment to building bridges between young talent, academia, and the professional world.

We extend our sincere thanks to AIESEC in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the invitation and for creating a space where young voices are heard, and where collaboration leads to action.

As we continue to champion the power of education and community, we look forward to future collaborations that support and uplift youth across the region.

Together, we break the cycle—together, we build the future.
