Youth Imagination Lab summary
Global Youth Imagination Lab is a youth voice program about AI, humanity and the future, led by Deeply Human Innovation with the Learning Planet Institute.
Participants share reflections on what technology should make possible, what worries them, and what leaders should understand about growing up with AI.
Selected applicants join a virtual Youth Imagination Day, where ideas are discussed with young people and experts across technology, education, policy and research.
It suits thoughtful students and young adults who want their perspectives to inform a wider Youth Dispatch and public insight work.
What is Global Youth Imagination Lab on Humanity, AI & the Future?
The Global Youth Imagination Lab on Humanity, AI & the Future is an online youth voice program led by Deeply Human Innovation with the Learning Planet Institute, a United Nations University Hub and UNESCO Category 2 Institute. It invites young people to reflect on how AI is shaping learning, work, creativity, communication and decision-making.
The practical experience begins with an online application that asks for personal reflections rather than technical expertise. Selected applicants are invited to a virtual Global Youth Imagination Day, where they explore themes from the listening campaign, exchange ideas with peers and experts, and help shape a youth-led message for wider summit and report work.
Why Succeed highlights Youth Imagination Lab
It gives young people a structured way to contribute to conversations about AI that are often led by adults and institutions.
The Lab is connected to the Learning Planet Institute and the Deeply Human Summit, giving participant ideas a route into wider policy, education and technology discussions.
The application is reflection-based, so students do not need prior AI expertise to take part meaningfully.
The program explicitly welcomes different cultures, disciplines, communities and lived experiences.
The Youth Advisory Council pathway offers a possible next step for selected participants who want to keep shaping the work.
Who is Youth Imagination Lab for?
Best for
Students and young adults who care about AI, ethics, education, society or the future of technology, and who can express thoughtful reflections in writing.
Not ideal if
You want a taught technical AI course, a certificate-led program, or a highly structured academic class with formal assessment.
Is Youth Imagination Lab worth it?
For students interested in AI and society, this is worth considering because it turns personal reflection into a wider youth voice process rather than a private application exercise. The strongest value is the chance to connect ideas with a summit, public insights and possible advisory work.
The limitation is that this is not a skills course or credentialed program. Its value depends on how much you want to contribute thoughtful perspectives, join global discussion, and use the experience as evidence of civic and ethical engagement with technology.

Best started
Start one to two weeks before 2 September 2026 so your reflections are not rushed.

You are exploring responsible AI, ethics, social impact or future-focused leadership.
