"New to Nexus": Welcome and Strengthening Bonds

After the UN immersion, the group proceeded to the "New to Nexus" event. This was a warm and strategic welcome session, specially dedicated to participants attending the conference for the first time. More than just a simple introduction to how the event works, "New to Nexus" promoted interactive group dynamics, facilitating connection among young people and encouraging networking. It was a fundamental space for building a sense of community and preparing participants for the rich exchanges to come.

Inspiring Voices: The Opening Plenary

The culmination of the day was the opening plenary of the Nexus Global Summit. A stage for "super powerful talks" that deeply touched the participants. The presentations highlighted the importance of collaboration and collective spirit, echoing the philosophy that "I am because we are."
