The first IYD that will be hosted outside Metro Manila!
The 12th International Youth Day Celebratory Conference will gather 400 student and youth leaders all throughout the archipelago and from more than 15 different countries for an open-minded exchange of diverse perspectives on contemporary global challenges especially the attainment of the MDGs.
The Objective of the IYD is to facilitate dialogue and cooperation across an ethnically diverse and socially responsible group of student and youth leaders. This is our little contribution to the 10th year anniversary of International Year of Volunteers (IYV + 10), thus the objectives of the 5-day conference are as follows;
• to provide a venue for youth leaders and educators in the Philippines and Asia Pacific Region to come together; share and process their experiences; identify their strengths and weaknesses; and enhance leadership skills, techniques and strategies in the pursuit of the UN Millennium Development Goals;
• to promote solidarity, unity, cooperation and harmony among youth participants towards poverty-free Philippines by 2015 through the United Nations Volunteers campaign of the IYV + 10 commemoration;
• to strengthen youth volunteers programs in the pursuit of MDGs among youth groups like the student councils, Sangguniang Kabataan and UNYAP Chapters in the region.
