Our Youth Panel
We are launching something exciting and new…
Our upcoming HI Youth Panel panel will bring together young changemakers who are passionate about travel, sustainability, and cultural exchange to help shape the future of hostelling.
The panel will focus on key themes such as:
Sustainability – Promoting responsible and eco-friendly travel.
Cultural Exchange – Encouraging meaningful connections across borders.
Diversity & Inclusion – Making hostelling accessible for everyone.
Through discussions, collaborations, and initiatives, the panel will play a key role in developing ideas that enhance the hostelling experience globally. Their voices, insights, and projects will contribute to shaping HI’s projects, improving sustainability efforts, and ensuring hostelling remains a space for meaningful travel experiences.
Stay tuned as we introduce the panelists and showcase their inspiring work here!
