About Us
As the first-ever high school student-led conference in China, The Keystone Rising Global Leaders Conference (KRGL) is an annual event that brings together high school student leaders from across the nation. This event draws inspiration from the Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR), providing a platform for young leaders to engage in meaningful dialogues on sustainable development goals. The KRGL aims to explore and collectively address critical global issues and “global goals before 2030*” that are relevant to the present and future by equipping student leaders with the internal skillset “Inner Development Goals*" proposed in 2021. Through the presentation and implementation of research- or data-driven solutions, student projects will extend beyond their local communities, aiming for long-term, tangible, and quantifiable impacts over the course of the year post-conference.
作为中国首次由高中生发起的学术会议，KRGL（Keystone Rising Global Leaders Conference）邀请国内的中学生领导者，通过体悟“内在发展目标*”，共同探索并解决当前和未来关键的全球问题以及"2030年前的全球目标*"。这些解决方案将在一年的会议结束后对其社区产生长期可量化影响。此次活动旨在为当代“后浪”领袖们提供丰富的创新机会和途径。本次会议的灵感来源于 1991 年成立的哈佛大学亚洲与国际关系项目 (HPAIR)。

Our Mission
我们的使命
KRGL seeks to empower high school student leaders by providing a student-led platform for participants from diverse backgrounds across China to engage in meaningful dialogue, collaborate, exercise leadership, and implement projects that tackle global challenges and take collective sustainable development goals (SDGs) before 2030 one step forward, using Inner Development Goals (IDGs) as the internal approach skillset. By engaging in workshops, discussions, presentations, poster fairs and more throughout the conference, participants gain opportunities to collaborate, expand, and implement their project solutions in real-world contexts well beyond their local communities, while receiving ongoing guidance post-conference.
The 2025 KRGL conference theme “Challenging the Challenges” exemplifies the essence of this student initiative;
KRGL将通过提供一个以学生为主导的平台，赋能来自中国不同背景的高中生领袖，促进他们之间的对话与合作，并通过探索内在发展目标（IDGs）继而开展关于应对全球挑战的项目，推动可持续发展目标（SDGs）在2030年前取得进展。本次会议将通过领导力交流会、圆桌讨论、展览、演讲和指导等形式，提高参会者的项目影响力，并在会议结束后的一年内对其实施切实可行的项目跟进。
同时，2025年KRGL的会议主题“对挑战的挑战”很好地体现了这一使命的本质。
