We particularly welcome proposals addressing:
- SDG 4 Quality Education

Proposals may explore the connection between these goals and youth participation, democracy, civic engagement, social inclusion, education, entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability, peace, governance or international cooperation.
Selected proposals may be included in the official PITASO V programme. The final format, duration and scheduling will be determined by the organising team in consultation with the proposing organisation.
