Presenter: Kyuduck Youn (Christ University, India)

This lecture introduces the philosophy, structure, and implementation cases of WeJump, a social innovation project designed for marginalized youth in India and across the globe. WeJump goes beyond simple skills transfer—it is a global community that promotes sustainable growth through Connect, Collaborate, Create, and Change. It demonstrates the potential of a digital learning model centered on humanity and community in the age of artificial intelligence.

Evolving into a global leadership ecosystem that connects youth in Korea, India, and various other countries, WeJump is also being recognized as a new model for inclusive and innovative education.
