The Tsinghua Global Youth Dialogue (TGYD) is a program initiated by Tsinghua University to create a global platform for young leaders, with the vision of "United Youth, Shared Future." Its goal is to bring together exceptional young leaders from around the world, foster a network of youth collaboration, and cultivate globally-minded talent. The core mission is to establish an ecosystem where both Chinese and international youth can grow together.

TGYD seeks to become an innovative international youth organization, contributing to the creation of a global community with a shared future. In 2025, the theme "Harmony Reaches Far, Paths Unite Us" will guide the program, selecting 60 young leaders to participate in practical dialogues and explorations across Shenzhen, Guizhou, and Beijing from June 29 to July 10. The program will strengthen mechanisms like structured frameworks for international youth cooperation, case studies on future-focused leadership development, and assessments of global competence.
