18 months after the adoption of YMCA Vision 2030, the leaders discussed their collective and individual progress in making a shared vision a shared reality.
Research published on the eve of the conference showed that 35 National Movements have officially activated Vision 2030, 29 are in the process of doing so, and 16 will start to do so over the next 12 months.
A special session led by Y Australia and Deloitte Australia on the Meaningful Work Pillar of Vision 2030 charted progress to date, including a global research survey capturing the voices of 10,000 young people in 122 countries on their hopes and fears in the world of work. The session also outlined work underway in the Pillar, with a mapping of Movement-wide activities in the Meaningful Work area, and the initial ‘case for change’ which will lead to a Movement-wide plan.
