Projects
Our Projects
BCEA projects help young people practice Global Intelligence through exchange, dialogue, workshops, and storytelling
Dialogue
Youth Dialogue
A global living room where young people from different countries meet in small Zoom rooms to share what daily life actually feels like — pressure, food, music, futures — and walk away realizing they're not so different after all.
Convening
Global Intelligence Summit
BCEA's annual convening — in 2025, three summits across Los Angeles, Beijing, and Bologna brought together students, diplomats, scholars, and practitioners around dialogue, AI governance, and science diplomacy. In 2026, it heads to Washington, D.C. and Beijing.
Public Learning
Public Student Forum
BCEA's public education program — student-moderated forums that put young people in direct conversation with leading experts, policymakers, and entrepreneurs. Every session is recorded and released as a free learning resource for global citizens.
