نظرة عامة على البرنامج

## About the award The OECD Youth Advisory Board, known as Youthwise, was established in 2021 with the dual aim of enhancing young people's understanding of international policy-making and the OECD's operations, while also integrating invaluable youth perspectives and innovative ideas into the Organisation's work. This initiative seeks to empower young individuals to actively contribute to global dialogues on critical issues. Youthwise comprises young people aged 18 to 30, selected for their diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Members come from various fields including artificial intelligence, technology, education, health, social care, climate, environment, gender equality, and social mobility, enriching the board with a broad spectrum of insights and interests. ## What's covered Youthwise members actively participate in a range of engaging activities that provide unique opportunities to influence policy and gain professional experience. While participation is not remunerated, members bring their generation's perspectives to the OECD, gaining a deeper understanding of key policy issues impacting their age group. They engage in closed-door meetings and consultations with OECD experts, speak at events, contribute to webinars, and create articles and videos to share Youthwise views. The program also facilitates interactive workshops with other youth organisations and leaders, fostering networking and a comprehensive understanding of international policy-making. Activities primarily take place online, though invitations to in-person events may occur, requiring a high level of attendance and participation. ## Who can apply To be eligible for Youthwise, applicants must be between 18 and 30 years old and hold a nationality from an [OECD Member country](https://www.oecd.org/en/about/members-partners.html). A strong command of English is essential. Candidates should demonstrate a keen interest in national and international discussions surrounding the development of an inclusive future through green and digital transformations. Diplomacy, understanding, and openness to various ideas and perspectives are crucial for discussing potentially sensitive topics. Applicants must not be affiliated with the OECD, its subsidiaries, member country governments, government agencies, parliaments, or delegations to the OECD, nor have a relative currently affiliated with the OECD. Successful candidates must be available to participate in the Youthwise programme from July 2025 until June 2027. ## How to apply The selection process for Youthwise involves an inter-generational, cross-directorate jury within the OECD, which rigorously reviews applications to ensure the selection of a diverse and representative cohort of young individuals. Further details on the application process, including specific deadlines for future cohorts, are typically released through the OECD's official channels. Interested candidates are encouraged to regularly visit the OECD's Youthwise page for updates and application instructions. Given the competitive nature of this program, potential applicants should prepare to showcase their academic achievements, professional experiences, and their passion for policy-making and youth advocacy.
