Burkina Faso, 24-28 September 2007 (provisonal date)

This Forum will follow a similar format to the UNESCO General Conference Youth Forum. It will last for four days, and include two plenary sessions, at the beginning and end, and in between workshops. All of these will be youth led, with adult experts acting as facilitators to support the discussion. Observers from youth NGOs and organisations, regional networks and UNESCO Secretariat will also be present to share their opinions and experiences.

The overall theme of the regional forums is ”Young People and the Dialogue among Civilizations, Cultures and Peoples: Ideas for action in education, the sciences, culture and communication”. Under this theme, the Youth Forum Report has recommended two sub-themes as specific foci of the regional youth forums: ”Education for sustainable development” and ”Intercultural and interfaith dialogue to ensure peace”.
