The Grand Jam creates a meeting point for young people arriving from different countries and territories with their own questions, experiences and ways of imagining the future.
Its international dimension is not about adding flags. It is about enabling people to listen, collaborate and learn from one another.
Eight countries, one shared question
Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Portugal and Puerto Rico have already confirmed their participation in The Grand Jam 2026:
- 🇨🇴 Colombia
- 🇨🇷 Costa Rica
- 🇪🇸 Spain
- 🇬🇹 Guatemala
- 🇲🇽 Mexico
- 🇵🇪 Peru
- 🇵🇹 Portugal
- 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico
Each delegation arrives with its own journey within Mars Challenge and with young people who have researched, designed and defended projects rooted in their local context. This list will grow as new delegations are confirmed.
Every place brings a perspective
Global challenges are experienced differently in each community. Conversations become richer when local knowledge, different journeys and a shared responsibility towards Earth meet.
International exchange does not erase differences. It turns them into an opportunity to learn.
As new delegations are confirmed, public information will be updated with precise representation and no attribution of participation before it is confirmed.
