For this year’s Youth Forum over 70 Youth leaders from more than 40 different countries confirmed their attendance! Our youth participants are very active in building their community. They are introducing themselves, and getting to know each other better. In particular, they are also sharing why they want to take part in the Youth Forum, and why this is meaningful to them.
