Paris Collaborative Format
Unlike any other initiative, the Paris Collaborative is a voluntary platform that brings together the energy of students and the wisdom of global experts to co-create solutions that can shape the future.
Student Fellowship
Twice a year, students apply to the Paris Collaborative Fellowship with projects in prototype, pilot, or implementation stage. Selected Fellows present to a panel of global curators, who support them through Springboard Offers—personalised mentorship, opportunities, and resources that help transform ideas into real-world impact.
Remote Conferences & Panels
Fellows gain exclusive opportunities to join international conferences and expert panels, where they sit as equals alongside global leaders. Through these online engagements, they share their innovations, shape important conversations, and represent youth perspectives at events such as UN–COP16, UN–COP30, and Davos Worldwide.
Global Summits
Paris Collaborative partners with leading global summits to ensure children are genuinely included in decision-making spaces. Here, experts and students co-create solutions on equal footing—exploring themes like sustainability, technology, AI, education, development, and governance—while showcasing youth innovation to the world.
