In Octo­ber, 2010 in Greece, on the Island of Rhodes the first Rhodes Youth Forum took place. The Forum was ini­ti­ated by World Pub­lic Forum “Dia­logue of Civ­i­liza­tions” (WPFDC) in 2009 on the 7th Annual Ses­sion of the Rhodes Forum (www​.rhodes​fo​rum​.org) as an insti­tu­tion aimed to involve the mod­ern youth in the analy­sis of the global dia­logue of civ­i­liza­tions agenda and to develop prospec­tive strate­gies for the har­mo­nious progress of the human­ity.

The sec­ond ses­sion of the Rhodes Youth Forum will take place from Octo­ber 10 to 14, 2011 on the Island of Rhodes (Greece). The par­tic­i­pants of the ses­sion con­sist of more than 150 socially active young peo­ple from 50 coun­tries around the world. The cen­tral theme of the meet­ing is range of pos­si­bil­i­ties for the future of young people. In 2010, the first Youth Forum pro­posed a struc­ture which would sup­port the activ­i­ties of the Rhodes Youth com­mu­nity on a per­ma­nent basis. This deci­sion became a real­ity on 11 Decem­ber 2010, in Prague. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of youth from dif­fer­ent coun­tries have estab­lished an inter­na­tional youth move­ment, Youth Time, a non-​profit, non-​governmental and non-​political asso­ci­a­tion of young peo­ple.

Call for projects

From Sep­tem­ber 28th to Octo­ber 1st, 2012 the Rhodes Island will host the Youth Forum for the third time. More than 100 young peo­ple inter­ested in active par­tic­i­pa­tion in pub­lic life, con­cerned about the cur­rent chal­lenges to human­ity, tended to ful­fill­ment by imple­ment­ing social projects and their per­sonal intel­lec­tual efforts.

Rhodes Youth Forum 2012. 45 coun­tries. 100 par­tic­i­pants. 50 projects. It starts.
