Date: 24- 27 November 2020

The Youth Leadership Programme’s sixth year started in extraordinary circumstances under the COVID-19 pandemic. With many activities moving online, it is natural to finish the year in the same manner: YLP Regional Youth Forum goes virtual!

This four-day event between 24 and 27 November 2020 will bring together around 200 participants, including representatives of youth-serving organizations from the region, youth focal points from UNDP Country Offices, selected youth that took part in YLP6 activities as well as YLP alumni. Together with inspirational speakers, technical experts from the region and young leaders, we will look into new, innovative ways to approach social entrepreneurship as well as explore the three main focus areas of YLP6: Climate Action, Civic and Political Participation, and Pandemics.

YLP national finalists will have the opportunity to showcase the hard work they have put into developing their innovative solutions, as well as to e-meet the young social innovators from other countries, experts and social entrepreneurs from the Arab region. All participants will expand their regional network of youth and youth-serving organizations in order to further exchange knowledge, best practices, resources and skills. Furthermore, participants will acquire new knowledge in areas related to climate action, emotional intelligence and Foresight Future Studies. The Virtual Regional forum will bring the national YLP participants together with the participants of the UNDP Youth Futures Fellowship, taking everyone on a journey into the future.
