Conference Structure

August 1st

The first day may be the most traditional day of the conference, highlighted by the presentation of the speakers. We begin with an introduction to the topics, followed by interventions from the specialists selected for the event. Each one of them brings a new perspective on the conference themes, as well as a repertoire of knowledge and personal teachings. Between the various presentations, there will be breaks where you will have the opportunity to converse and exchange ideas, both with the speakers and with other participants. It is an extensive day that truly sets the atmosphere for the whole event, laying the foundations for dialogue and reflection.

August 2nd

On the second day, participants take center stage through a series of activities that build on the annual topics. They will rotate through different dynamics throughout the day, from working in small groups to expressing their views in a collective debate. These sessions foster mutual understanding, allowing them giving them the opportunity to exchange ideas, reflections from the previous day, and life experiences. Each interaction opens the door to new connections and perspectives.

August 3rd

The third and final day is designed to strengthen bonds and create memories that will last a lifetime. You’ll have the opportunity to connect more deeply with the other participants and the organizing team, taking part in engaging activities that encourage personal and cultural exchange. Final speeches and presentations will allow yougive you the opportunity to reflect on the knowledge gained as well as unleash shared sentiments of the conference. This closing day is a tribute to everything we've learned and a celebration of cultural diversity that cultivates our bonds.


The Impact of the SABF in Words

“The SABF will always be a special memory for me because it allowed me to discover that I am capable of achieving things I never imagined. It also reminded me of the importance of giving myself time to achieve them.”
Andrea Parrales Vera, Ecuador, 20 years old.
“In 2023, I had the opportunity to participate in the SABF, and now, several months later, the lessons I learned during the conference are still incredibly useful for the work I do today.”
Jackelinne Ponce Paredes, Peru, 24 years old.
“What I value most about the SABF is meeting people who, like me, are driving change in their communities. It's essential to surround yourself with a network of individuals who are committed to transforming realities. People with plans, ideas, and the determination to make a difference, while also bringing unique perspectives from diverse careers and nationalities.”
Nicole Stephanie Meza Rodríguez, Peru, 23 years old.
“What makes the SABF unique is the people. The individuals I met there are still part of my life even today, more than six months after the event. They are extraordinary, not only because of their academic excellence but also because of their humanity and their energy to undertake new things. We remain in touch, collaborating on shared projects or driving personal initiatives with social impact. It's rare to find people like that. The SABF doesn't end when the event is over; it's the beginning of a network that stays active and continues to create change around the world.”
Rafael Dalzotto, Argentina, 22 years old.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to participate in the SABF. You have formed an amazing team and created something incredible. The organization was, without a doubt, impeccable. Thank you so much for everything! I hope you can continue working just as admirably in the future. I will definitely take inspiration from you.”
