یہ سرگرمی ایس سی او یوتھ ٹیکنالوجی اینڈ انوویشن فورم کے لئے وارم اپ تھی، جو 31 مئی سے 2 جون کے درمیان شینزن میں منعقد ہوگی۔ فورم کا مقصد اختراعی تعاون، اختراعی تعلیم، ٹیلنٹ ٹریننگ، زرعی ترقی، دیہی غربت میں کمی، بین الاقوامی صحت تعاون، انفارمیشن انفراسٹرکچر کی تعمیر اور پائیدار ترقی میں دنیا بھر کے نوجوانوں کے درمیان دوستانہ تبادلے کو گہرا کرنا ہے۔
