UBSI Delegates to Expand Global Network at Youth Congress in Thailand

Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI), known as the Creative Digital Campus, is reinforcing its commitment to international student engagement by sending three delegates to the Global Youth Congress (GYC) 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. The event, scheduled from July 2-4, 2026, will host Cicih Nuareni, a lecturer from the English Literature program, alongside two students: Bella Amelia from the Information Systems program and Kayla Shabirah Putri from the Communication Science program.

The GYC is an integral part of the Global Youth Conference on Sustainable Development Goals. This international forum convenes young individuals from diverse nations to cultivate collaboration and amplify the role of the younger generation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For participants, the congress offers not only a platform for learning about global issues but also a valuable opportunity to forge international networks that can lead to future collaborative ventures.

Kayla highlighted her enthusiasm for the program, particularly the chance to interact with participants from various countries. She views the GYC as a crucial space for building international connections, stating, "We will meet students, activists, young innovators, and future leaders from different backgrounds. Opportunities like this do not come every day, so I want to make the most of it to learn and build positive connections." She believes that global networks are essential for young people navigating an increasingly interconnected and dynamic world, where many challenges require international cooperation.

Kayla hopes to exchange ideas, experiences, and perspectives with international attendees. Through activities like the Youth Conference, Project Collaboration, and Volunteering Exchange, participants will engage directly with delegates from around the globe. As a Communication Science student, Kayla is particularly interested in understanding communication within multicultural environments and building relationships across different backgrounds, while also introducing Indonesian youth culture and spirit to the world. She anticipates that her participation in the GYC will open doors for ongoing collaborations beyond the program's conclusion, fostering projects in social initiatives, SDG campaigns, research, or youth programs.
