The flagship event is the Annual Alliance Forum, held in October in Geneva, Switzerland, where the Youth Board and Alliance members gather in person.
Quarterly leadership sessions take place virtually in January, April, and July, focusing on strategic planning and global participation.
Haugland Doctrine Forums, also held quarterly, involve corporate sustainability forums where organizations discuss their practices and receive feedback.

Haugland Doctrine
Through quarterly forums led by The Earth Prize Youth Board, members engage in open, intergenerational dialogue, sharing their practices and aligning with the Alliance’s mission of sustainable development. All members must welcome evaluation of their operations.
The Haugland Doctrine is a guiding principle that emphasizes the importance of shared responsibility and transparency in achieving sustainability. It encourages open dialogue and constructive criticism between Alliance member organizations and the Youth Board, ensuring that all members are accountable for their environmental and societal impact.
The doctrine also highlights the importance of youth leadership in driving sustainability efforts and ensuring that the voices of the next generation are central in shaping the future. By promoting collaboration, transparency, and youth engagement, the Haugland Doctrine aims to foster a culture of continuous improvement and collective action towards a more sustainable future.
