social inequality, poverty, urgent global health issues


and environmental degradation, or


more generally known as the phenomenon of “problems without passports”. Today, a young person in Scotland has more in common with a young person in Sri Lanka than any time before.


Where there is no opportunity, GenY has stepped up and created it for themselves, and where there is change to be made, they created momentum. In a survey of 12,000 millennials (ages 18 to 30) in 27 countries, an impressive 62% of respondents stated that they believed that they could make a local difference, and 40% responded that they believe that they can make a global difference. From the creation of Facebook and Twitter, to the rise of B-Corps and Student Movements in Latin America, Quebec and the Arab Spring, GenY is a generation of


innovative problem solvers, who have risen and adapted to the challenges before them.


Most importantly, GenY is made up of individuals with


complex building blocks of


perspectives and beliefs. They are innovators, storytellers, antagonizers, advocates, nomads, critics, global citizens, artists, disrupters, pioneers, allies, and always evolving.


From the status of young people as refugees, to students debating the future of Generation Y, the state of the world’s youth is transforming our world and is the focus of iAM 2014.
