Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Hosts

Now in its second year, the Young Adult Forum welcomes young people ages 14 to 24 for an interactive afternoon that includes presentations, small group discussions, guided networking, performances, panels, and opportunities to engage with other program participants.  We’ll explore big questions like how technology is shaping young people’s identities or how the constitution plays a role in current US events.  As a group, we’ll tackle confronting stereotypes and Islamophobia in the context of the current refugee crisis.  And, we’ll meet some advocates and crusaders who have turned their passions into a purpose.

Fee: $15, Dinner Included.
