United Games at the 5th World Youth Congress in Turkiye
More than 25 UG people have been at the WYC in Istanbul. We were networking, attending Workshops and made new friends. Let’s make the most of the new connections we got.
Reflections of the Virtual Congress
The 5th World Youth Congress in Istanbul found it’s end today. All the delagates are slowly going back home or wherever their next stop is. The Virtual Congress is there to help delegates to share what they experienced and also for other people that have questions or suggestions for the next WYC to be held in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. We’ll see how we can keep up with this Website. In case United Games will be also part of the next Virtual Congress we will definitely try to partner with other organizations that have done a great job in Istanbul.

The seminar Youth-led 101 will be held from the 28th of September to the 3rd of October in Neumarkt/Styria/Austria.
We will host 25 participants from Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and Slovenia.
The main focus of the seminar will be on youth-led projects and youth-led organisations and how they can learn from each other.
Furthermore what young people would need to improve their projects with a special focus on trainings courses.
The activities planned in accordance to get an overview of this big area will be Best and Worst practice sharing and creating a “Wish list” for future trainings courses.
All the methodologies were chosen because of the high level of interactivity.
