Along any path, one meets fellow partners that wish to reach the same destination. Mythic Challenges’ destination is a fully realized global community that is able to solve the problems facing humanity. One partner traveling to the same destination is the International Youth Media Summit (IYMS).

Past participants have come from around the globe: Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belize, Bolivia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, England, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong – China, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Macedonia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Serbia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and The United States of America.
Mythic Challenges, along with The Millennium Project, through it’s Delphi Intelligence System, gathers information from the leading thinkers around the globe to understand the issues facing us collectively. As such, IYMS is addressing specifically, five of the Global Challenges through its program’s focus on Women’s Rights, Health Issues, The Rich Poor Gap, and Peace and Conflict. More importantly, it is creating leaders that will find and create solutions to all fifteen Global Challenges through IMYS’ seventh focus, Youth Empowerment.
Mythic Challenges and The International Youth Media Summit (IYMS) are walking step by step towards a better world.
