This webinar, held in observance of the International Day of Education 2026, explores how impact networks and alumni-led systems can position young people as active co-creators of inclusive, equitable, and future-ready education systems. Anchored in SDG 4, the session highlights the shift from youth as beneficiaries to youth as strategic partners in education policy, governance, and programme design. Drawing on evidence and practice—particularly inHive’s BAC-IN alumni engagement model—the webinar will showcase scalable approaches for institutionalizing youth participation, amplifying alumni voice, and strengthening cross-sector collaboration across governments, institutions, funders, and civil society. The discussion will culminate in actionable recommendations for integrating alumni impact networks into national and institutional education strategies.
