Salzburg Global Seminar

Salzburg Global Seminar (SGS) is an independent non-profit organization founded in 1947 to challenge current and future leaders to shape a better world. It hosts multi-year programs on global topics as diverse as health care, education, culture, economics, geopolitics, justice, and sustainability. The aim is to inspire new thinking and action, and to foster lasting networks and partnerships for creative, just, and sustainable change. Under a previous award, SGS developed and organized a cross-national interdisciplinary program on current structural, legal, economic, and social weaknesses and inefficiencies of judicial and correctional systems in responding to youth crime and violence and promoting safety in different global contexts. By taking a cross-national perspective, the aim was to identify the most innovative and effective approaches, tools, and technologies across different sectors to enhance community safety and cohesion and reduce crime and incarceration. Given the massive changes evident both during and as a result of the global COVID pandemic that directly impact youth safety, violence, and justice, SGS has proposed another phase of the work to address whether the structural and systemic shifts of the last three years, present new challenges or a window of opportunity to introduce deeper reforms. It has become increasingly evident, driven by growing awareness of, and research focused on the impacts of the increased vulnerability and insecurity of young people facing the existential crises of the post-pandemic world, that new, more urgent, and coordinated responses across sectors and internationally are necessary to ensure not only the safety and security of today's youth, but their healthy development and well-being. The project includes a series of programs at SGS, follow-up workshops in the United States, and the development of pilot collaborations and communications products.
