Our theme this year, Media, Youth & Culture, is explored through the title "Pixels to Perspectives." Our theme explores a world shaped by screens, stories, algorithms and human connections where media influences perceptions, technology transforms possibilities, culture shapes identities and youth drives change. At the intersection of tradition and innovation, memory and progress, human insight and machine intelligence, this theme invites us to reflect on where we come from, how we are changing and what kind of future we choose to build together.
