19-20 March 2010: UN-HABITAT: World Urban Youth Assembly (Rio de Janeiro)
The World Urban Youth Assembly 2010, a key element of the Fifth Session of the World Urban Forum, will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This year’s theme, “The Right to the City: Bridging the Urban Divide”, has special relevance for youth, who make up the largest proportion of marginalized city dwellers across the developing world.
UN-HABITAT’s commitment to youth engagement and to supporting youth to be agents of positive change is exemplified in this groundbreaking World Urban Youth Assembly (formerly known as the World Urban Youth Forum) which is a global platform for advancing collective knowledge around issues of urbanization from the youth perspective. UN-HABITAT anticipates vibrant engagement from youth leaders across the globe.
Youth-led organizations and agencies across the globe are encouraged to register their representatives in this conference.
