Next Gen World Majlis consists of four insightful rounds designed to educate and empower students on the topic, developing their essential skills in teamwork, public speaking, and communication.

Round 1 – Future Cities Presentation:

The top 120 applicants will be invited to attend a session about sustainable cities of the future with an industry leader with the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session, followed by a short quiz. The top 20 participants will move forward to the next round, based on their quiz responses as well as their initial audio submission.

Round 2 - Expert Insights & Media Training:

This round is divided into two parts. In the first part, students delve deeper into the topic with the support of experts in related fields. The second part consists of public speaking training and handling questions. The top 10 students will be chosen based on their active involvement in the session's collaborative tasks.

Round 3 - Field Trip and Mock Majlis:

The third round involves a field trip to engage with industry experts who are currently working on real-world projects. This will be followed by a mock majlis session where students have the opportunity to share ideas and understanding as they respond to a range of majlis-style questions. The top four students will be selected based on their performance across all rounds to partake in the final Next Gen World Majlis

Round 4 - Next Gen World Majlis:

Our finalists apply what they've learned in previous rounds and engage in an hour-long moderated discussion on the main stage at the Asia Pacific Cities Summit, in front of an international audience of industry experts and academics.
