A chance to add your voice
 WFUNA-Youth will bring together its members for the second time with the major aim to review its preliminary organisational structure, which at the 37th WFUNA Plenary Assembly in Barcelona was put into a Memorandum of Understanding by all UNA representatives.
The WFUNA Youth meeting will be held from 6 to10 November 2006 - simultaneously with the World Federation's Plenary Assembly in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
At the Youth meeting, we will have the chance to finalise a permanent constitution. This will enable WFUNA-Youth to work on a solid basis and establish effective long-term planning.
The internal discussion about the tasks of WFUNA-Youth has already begun after the interim authority sent out a questionnaire on the structure and tasks of WFUNA-Youth to all its members and established an Internet platform to discuss the amendments to the preliminary constitution.
The Internet discussion is symbolic in the sense that youth now have the opportunity to shape the organisation.
In order to further strengthen UNYAs and UNA youth sections worldwide WFUNA-Youth will also organise a capacity building workshop. WFUNA-Youth welcomes any UNYAs or UNA youth sections' contributions in designing a proposal for the workshop.
Additionally the Youth Meeting will offer its participants the possibility to exchange expertise, methods and best practices, which might pave the way for the development of innovative ideas and the planning of common projects to be embarked upon at the end of the conference. In this way, th e organization of UNYAs and UNA youth sections through a global network will create tremendous benefits for their activities at home.
At the WFUNA Youth Meeting each UNA that is a member of WFUNA selects up to five youth representatives under the age of 30 who will then actively participate at the Youth Meeting. Have you already signed up for the Youth Meeting? Please do so as soon as possible to facilitate the planning.
I am looking forward to working with you all in Argentina!
