In today’s increasingly dynamic era of globalization, young people are required to possess international perspectives, resilient leadership, and the ability to collaborate across cultures. Youth are not only the heirs of a nation but also key actors in promoting peace, sustainability, and innovation. Therefore, it is essential to provide a platform that connects young people from various countries, enabling them to share ideas, experiences, and solutions to common global challenges.

Since its inaugural event in 2023, the International Youth Camp initiated by the Student Achievement Center of Perguruan Tinggi Muhammadiyah–‘Aisyiyah has served as a strategic forum for both national and international students to strengthen networks, enhance leadership capacity, and foster global citizenship awareness. The success of the first and second editions has laid a strong foundation for the continuation of this program in 2025. This year, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) has once again been entrusted to host the Ahmad Dahlan International Youth Camp 2025. As one of the leading Muhammadiyah universities, UAD has established a strong reputation for leadership development, educational innovation, and international networking. The event’s presence at UAD marks a strategic momentum to expand the global influence and contributions of Perguruan Tinggi Muhammadiyah–‘Aisyiyah.

Moreover, the third edition of this program is not merely a continuation of tradition but also a reaffirmation of Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah’s commitment to preparing an excellent, character-driven young generation who are responsive to global issues. Through the overarching theme “Empowering Global Youth Leadership for Sustainable Futures”, the Ahmad Dahlan International Youth Camp 2025 is expected to generate strategic recommendations, concrete actions, and cross-national collaborations in pursuit of a sustainable and inclusive future.
