In the spirit of the “International Year of Youth” launched by United Nations in August 2010, WFUNA began its Youth Seminar Series.
The first Youth Seminar was successfully hosted in Oslo by UNA-Norway from 1-3 October 2010. Fifteen participants came from 13 UNAs and UNYAs around the world: Armenia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Georgia, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, Norway, Republic of Korea, Russia, Suriname, and Sweden. A wide range of topics was covered, with a special focus on best practices, tactics and strategies for youth programming, fundraising and outreach, collaboration with WFUNA, and prospects for inter-regional and international networking and cooperation amongst UNAs and UNYAs.
