Global Youth Forum
Rights and Humanity invites you to become a founder member of our new Global Youth Forum to be launched in Liverpool in June 2008.
The Global Youth Forum will be a worldwide network of young people working to make a difference in their own communities. We encourage members to identify the key social justice issues that concern them and then we will provide the training and skills necessary to tackle these issues and take action.
The Forum is open to young people of all faiths and cultures aged 18 – 35 years. The Forum’s activities will be managed by its members.
Drawing on Rights and Humanity’s unrivalled knowledge and experience in the human rights field over the last 21 years as well as our expansive network of international patrons, supporters and contacts, you can expect to learn from some of the world’s most inspiring leaders and advocates.
The GYF will be launched as part of ‘The Big Hope’ conference in Liverpool from 4-11 June 2008. As part of Liverpool’s celebrations as European Capital of Culture, ‘The Big Hope’ is a week long event of speeches, forums, workshops and excursions involving young people from all over the world.
As part of the conference, Rights and Humanity is hosting 15 hours of workshops to train and inspire the founding members of the GYF. With our support , members will be able to hold events, launch their own projects and initiate change in their home communities across the world.
