Your registration gives you access to the full RAYS 2026 programme — including plenaries, workshops, youth-led sessions, story circles, and cultural exchanges.

RAYS 2026 invites delegates to step forward and share their voice.

As a Delegate Speaker, you will have the opportunity to join selected plenaries or youth-led sessions, contributing your lived experiences, community perspectives, and practical ideas toward environmental and cultural wellbeing.

This is a space for honest storytelling, grounded insights, and solutions shaped by real-world work and realities.

Applicants must hold a valid RAYS 2026 summit ticket. Delegates can opt to apply as a Delegate Speaker during registration. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted on a rolling basis, after 30 April with further details.
