By Ms Inés Lobo
Following the immensely successful 4th Emerging Leaders Conference held in Brussels last year, WYA Europe is delighted to announce its 5th edition. This year’s conference theme is Population and Environment: Building a Sustainable World and it will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels from the 27th to the 30th of November, 2016. While putting the focus on innovative solutions and ideas that respond to population- or environment- related issues, the conference aims to provide Europe youth with accurate information on the status of our environment, identify and examine the emerging challenges and promote responsible stewardship.
The Emerging Leaders Conference (ELC) is an annual event hosted by World Youth Alliance Europe, which seeks to bring together young leaders, active members and youth advocates from across Europe to interact with policy makers, experts and leaders on current global issues. It also provides young individuals with special training on programs in those areas to give them the adequate tools to make a difference in their own communities. Known for its intimate forum for dialogue, as well as intellectual formation via lectures and discussions, the ELC fosters a meaningful network of friendships based on a shared vision of the human person.
Participation fee: 50€. This includes the admission to all the sessions of the ELC, which range from the conferences held in the European Parliament, lectures and panel discussions by expert speakers, negotiations of the declaration to be presented in the European Parliament, trainings, evening cocktail to much more. The Certificate of Participation, Conference Kit (t-shirt included), other materials and brochures, snacks throughout conference, refreshments during the conference breaks are also included.
Upon acceptance to the conference, payment instructions will be issued. All payment details will be sent to you in the confirmation e-mail. Participants may apply for a discount on the participation fee. The approval will be granted on an individual case basis, and is dependent on the applicant’s authentic need.
All accommodations and travel before, during and after the conference will be care of the delegates. As of now, WYAE does not offer any form of financial aid to potential participants to cover their accommodations and travel expenses.
