• Cheryl Kirana Sungkono

  Not every story ends with closure, and that’s okay. Cheryl reflects on embarrassing moments and the human need for resolution, questioning why we often feel the need to “wrap things up”. Through a refreshing perspective, Cheryl reminds us that life doesn’t always follow the classic fairytale story and sometimes, letting things fade naturally is enough. Sometimes, change begins when the YOUth learns to let go instead of holding on.

• I Made Putra Swi Antara

  In a world obsessed with productivity, Dr. Putra shifts the focus from managing time to managing attention. Exploring the connection between attention span, habits and even the heart, Dr. Putra reveals how where we place our focus can ultimately shape our future. This talk challenges the YOUth to take control of their attention in an efficient driven era in order to take control of their lives.

• Ida Ayu Landia Parami Puspanta

  Being wrong is often seen as something to avoid, something to be ashamed of, but what if it’s actually essential? Landia examines the discomfort of being labeled as “wrong”, from our emotional reactions to the way it affects our identity and how it can perpetuate conflict. By emphasizing accountability and growth, she offers a new perspective: accepting mistakes not as failures or a reason to disagree but as necessary steps towards becoming the better version of yourself and realizing there is more than one perspective to every story. Growth happens when the YOUth takes accountability, embraces mistakes and chooses to grow from it.

• Marilyne Mintarko

  Leadership doesn't start with followers, it starts with self-trust. Marilyne challenges the common belief that leadership requires experience or validation from others. By addressing the fear of not being "good enough", she inspires young people to trust their instincts and step forward with confidence, redefining what it truly means to lead for the YOUth.

• Nalina Kindela Tan

  Why is it so easy to trust others, yet so difficult to trust ourselves? Nalina dives into this paradox by unpacking how the brain processes self-perception and success, aiming to show people how lack of trust in yourself can lead to discouragement and an unclear vision of oneself. We may have once thought that we are strangers to our own potential but Nalina seeks to encourage the audience to rebuild trust from within and rethink the way they view their own capabilities. In the end, meaningful change begins when the YOUth learn to trust the one voice that matters most, their own.

• Ni Putu Aila Jyotika Sudiarta

  Aila explores a struggle many young people quietly face: being a “Contain-er”. Through reflections on procrastination and self-doubt, she uncovers how the words we tell ourselves can become a hindrance to our growth. By introducing the idea of “container behavior”, Aila invites the audience to rethink how they hold and shape their thoughts, how to prevent being held back by their inner voice and how shifting that mindset can unlock their fullest potential. Because real change doesn’t begin through others, it starts with the way the YOUth choose to speak to themselves.

• Ni Putu Saraswati Hathaway

  Sara provides us with a relatable insight, stating how high school friendships can feel like everything and nothing at the same time. However, they don’t always have to define who we are. Sara speaks about the pressure to fit in and the tendency to filter our true personality just so we can belong. By sharing honest perceptions, she encourages students to embrace their authenticity, reminding them that finding the right people matters more than forcing themselves into the wrong group. As the YOUth, we should leave behind the cycle of masking ourselves and be ourselves, unapologetically.

• Vanya Regina Suwandhi

  Every day, unnoticed and unmeasured food waste continues to grow. Small leftovers that may be easily thrown away can lead to something much more alarming than we know. Vanya brings attention to this pressing issue by highlighting how everyday habits, like overbuying food, contribute to a much larger problem. However, with a focus on awareness and practical solutions, Vanya aims to encourage the audience to rethink their consumption and take small, meaningful steps towards reducing waste. After all, the fate of our future home is in the hands of the YOUth.

• Yudist Ardhana

  As an entrepreneur and content creator, Yudist represents a new generation redefining success. Through his journey of building a career beyond traditional paths, he explores why young people are building a career beyond traditional paths and the importance of building an image now. His talk offers insight into creativity, taking risks and the evolving landscape of careers in the digital age the YOUth see today.
