Last year we hosted our second annual Youth Symposium, with young people across the world of conservation sharing their stories.

The Chester Zoo Youth Symposium will be returning again this year on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October 2023. Once again, we are inviting young people from across the country to share their experiences, knowledge and passion for conservation!

We aim to reach out to a wide range of contributors and participants from young researchers, activists, youth led organisations, youth boards, policy makers and young leaders.

Call for presenters:

We’re looking for inspiring young speakers to share their experiences through workshops and presentations with audiences at the symposium. We invite you to share your knowledge and expertise on youth engagement in conservation, good practice in strengthening youth involvement and empowering young people to take positive action for nature and our planet.

Download our presenter form and share your story.

The deadline for workshop and presentation submissions is 11 August 2023. All confirmed speakers will be finalised and notified by 25 August 2023. Successful speakers will be offered a free place at the symposium.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that all presentation and workshop submissions will be accepted.
