On 2-6 February 2026, Healthy Cities for Adolescents is bringing together young people, project teams and city actors from across the HCA network for the Global Learning Forum 2026.
GLF 2026 is not a typical conference. It is a youth-centred learning space where real experiences from cities take centre stage. Here, young people don’t just participate – they help shape conversations, lead sessions and influence outcomes.
This Forum is the second and final global gathering of HCA’s current phase (running until December 2026). It’s a moment to look back at what has been done, share what has been learned, and think together about what needs to change next.
At GLF 2026, learning happens through stories, dialogue and collaboration. Project teams from six countries exchange practical insights, while adolescents bring in perspectives from their everyday lives in cities. Sessions focus on discussion and co-creation rather than long presentations, making the Forum interactive, open and human.
The Forum follows a simple flow – Listen → Learn → Link:
- Listen to adolescent voices and lived realities
- Learn from each other across cities and countries
- Link local experiences to global ideas and system change
GLF 2026 is a space to connect, reflect and learn together – across borders, roles and experiences.
More details on the programme will be shared soon!
