Dear prospective participants,

It is with great anticipation that I invite you to the 5th annual WFUNA Youth Camp: Korea. We are proud to co-host with the College of International Studies at Kyung Hee University an exciting one week of active engagement with youth participants.

With a membership of over 100 United Nations Associations around the world, we work to connect people around the world to the United Nations, contribute to the achievement of its goals. 

In achieving our mission, we have been working effortlessly to engage with one of the most important stakeholders in the world, youth. WFUNA believes that youth, as civil society activists, have the power to be significant actors of positive change. Through our global education and youth programs, we have been reaching out to our youth constituents by providing them with the opportunity to experience and build skillsets to shape our future in a more peaceful and sustainable way.

Our goal in addressing this event is to encourage engagement of youth in global issues by providing them with a core set of skills that are fundamental to becoming effective social activists, responsible leaders, and creative visionaries.
