On January 14, the second session of “Global Link for Youth Action” took place in Shanghai. Hosted by the All-China Youth Federation and co-organized by the KAB Club and the Shanghai Yishe Public Welfare Culture Development Center, the event brought together young entrepreneurs from China and abroad with students from Fudan University and Tongji University. Participants engaged in dynamic program sharing and interactive discussions centered on the theme “Emotional Consumption and Youth Innovation & Entrepreneurship.”

This event explored the intersection of emotional well-being and entrepreneurship, featuring insights from young innovators across China, the UK, Romania, and beyond. Topics ranged from pet companionship and ceramic art therapy to music-based emotional education and immersive experiences in environmental psychology.

This year, the “Global Link for Youth Action” will host at least eight sessions, each spotlighting a distinct dimension of sustainable development. The series aims to convene experts and young changemakers to showcase innovative projects, exchange cross-cultural perspectives, and foster collaborative solutions. 

Outstanding initiatives that demonstrate clear alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be selected—following expert review—for special recognition, with key team members invited as official delegates to the 2026 Acceleration Week for Global Youth Development.
