World Urban Forum - Posted By: Daniel Roth

The World Urban Forum is just wrapping up today and the journey has been amazing. Young people were an active sector within the Forum and the YAT played a crucial role in bringing US youth to the Forum. In the closing ceremony, a Canadian youth named Mia read a well crafted summary of the youth participants recommendations.

I will post the Youth Decleration asap.

Peace from Vancouver.
