Quote of the day ...

Go to the people
Live among them
Learn from them
Start with what they know
Build on what they have.

But the best leaders
When their task is accomplished
Their work is done
The people all remark
"We have done it ourselves"

The World Urban Forum & Youth

In order to truly involve young people in the WUF process, the World Urban Forum & Youth (WUFY) has been formed. WUFY is working closely with partner organizations in Canada and Kenya and with World Urban Forum organizers to integrate young people's experiences and ideas into the agenda and events during the conference.

The World Urban Forum will be an amazing opportunity for young people involved in successful youth-led and youth-driven projects and programs to create new networks and most of all to show international policy-makers, scientists and business people that youth are organizing to create positive change in their communities around the world every day. This is a chance to showcase youth-innovation, youth-led development, youth-networks and youth-power to the world!
