10 - 21 Aug, 2008: 4th World Youth Congress: Quebec: Closes 31 Oct, 2007
10 September, 2007
The 4th World Youth Congress will be held at Laval University, Quebec, Canada from 10 - 21 August, 2008 (which, very strangely, will mean that the Congress overlaps entirely with the Beijing Olympics) on the theme “Youth-led Development”. It will be the next in a series of events that will bring together 600 of the world’s young activists (aged 15 - 30) in the field of sustainable development in order to demonstrate that young people are one of the most valuable resources in governments’ and international development organisations’ mission to reach the Millennium Development Goals.
At the Congress, organized by Peace Child International, World Youth Congress 2008 and TakingITGlobal, young people will have the opportunity to discuss the challenges of sustainable development, exchange best practises, submit ideas and define strategies together with government representatives.
For more information and to apply online as an individual or organisation, see http://www.wyc2008.qc.ca/.
Applications close 31 October, 2007.
