Dear Young Friends,

This is a period of fast moving global change. At such a time the importance of youth population becomes more important than ever. If we want our world to be more peaceful, more just, with opportunities for all, it will only be possible as a result of the young people of today.

There are many innovations and developments both in Türkiye and across the world in the area of youth. 12 August 2010 – 12 August 2011 has been announced as the Year of Youth by the UN. We hope that, throughout this designated year of youth, we will witness an increase in the importance and investment awarded to youth issues throughout the world.

In such a period, on the eve of the World Youth Year, we are happy to host the 5th World Youth Congress and all of you world youth in the city that is the heiress of thousands of years of history and civilization. Istanbul, the city that represents tolerance and peace with a variety of cultures in its midst is the 2010 city of European Capital of Culture.

Türkiye has a huge youth population and we regard them as our most important asset. It is very important that they should come together with other youth from around the world and interact within mutual understanding, tolerance and solidarity.

Having “‹mece” as the main theme of the congress has a specific importance. “‹mece”, has existed in the Turkish culture for many centuries and its key qualities such as solidarity, togetherness, and volunteerism are just as relevant in today's world.

I would like to welcome you all to the 5th World Youth Congress in Türkiye and I hope you will experience the beauty of both ‹stanbul and Türkiye.

Republic of Türkiye Ministry of State Faruk Nafiz Özak

e-gençlik welcomes you…

The sun that rose in Hawaii is enlightening 1400 people in Istanbul, where East and West meets. Today, 11 years after we attended the first congress in Hawaii, we as e-gençlik family are very happy to have you in Istanbul as the delegates of the 5th World Youth Congress.

It has been a dream for us to have the World Youth Congress in Istanbul ever since the first day we arrived in Hawaii in 1999, where we were inspired and empowered to take action. We wanted to give this chance to other young people from all around the world and now we have fulfilled our dream by hosting 1400 brilliant young people here. We have been working hard for the past three years to prepare a great event for you. To be honest, preparing such a huge event has been quite a challenge but we have tried  our best and now it is your challenge to take advantage of all the opportunities at this congress.

At our first Congress in Hawaii, we learned the meaning of   'Aloha'.  Here in Türkiye, we will learn and experience “‹mece” - the ancient Turkish tradition of working together for the common good in a spirit of joy and solidarity.

This congress series aims to encourage young people around the world to work in the spirit of “‹mece” for youth-led development - to make poverty history in their lifetimes and create a prosperous green economy that will bring sustainable happiness to every member of the human family.

On behalf of e–gençlik association, we welcome you in Türkiye and we wish you an amazing once in a life time experience.

President of e-gençlik Association Kemal Uysal

Dear Delegates:

Welcome to the 5th World Youth Congress! - in one of my cities in the world – Istanbul which this year, proudly celebrates its moment as Europe’s Capital of Culture.

I want to thank all the Turks who have supported this Congress at many different levels - starting with the Minister of State for Youth, Mr. Faruk Nafiz Ozak, the Government, our partners – e-genclik Association and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Youth Assembly, other sponsors and all the institutions and NGOs who have come forward to offer us their support.

Over the years we have heard numerous stories of past delegates who have gone on to do inspirational things in their community after attending one of our WYC congresses. I hope that you, too, will benefit just as they have done and take advantage of all this Congress has to offer.

But remember: a congress is just the beginning. The real work starts when you get home. This 5th WYC launches several important initiatives that will carry on long after this Congress is over:

•The Istanbul Action Plan establishing youth priorities for global Action - to be presented at the Mexican World Youth Conference and, we hope, at the UN – and to be made operational by you with your Government and NGO partners;

• PCI’s Monitoring and Evaluation project which aims to further professionalise youth-led development projects by getting young people to collect and analyse data about their projects that will convince senior development economists of their value;

• The Road to Rio+20 project – PCI seeks to mobilize all young people to lobby for sustainable prosperity ahead of the UN’s Rio+20 Summit and our 6th World Youth congress, both in Brazil in 2012.

Again, our goal is to move youth closer to the heart of every government’s sustainable development agenda:

• Our Earth Navigator Computer Game – a fun way to learn how to pilot our planet on a flight path to sustainable human development.

I hope you get involved in one of these projects to ensure that the next two years before the Rio Congress are as rich and productive for you as the next two weeks will be.

Most of all - Have Fun!

David Woollcombe

Our future leaders of the world welcome to the 5th World Youth Congress.

In our world where the population is growing so fast, the problems encountered have gone from being local to universal. This situation has removed the borders between continents and countries, thus creating the necessity for us to think and act under the same roof. As future leaders, our meeting here having travelled thousands of kilometers (of distance) shows that we share this responsibility, so I hereby thank you and those who support you coming here, in advance. Being a young person myself, I sincerely share our youth’s excitement about your coming here, which constitutes 65 % of our population.

I believe Istanbul, the most inspiring city in the world, will be a source of inspiration for your future lives, as it has been to us until today. I hope you will enjoy your stay here. We present our gratitude to our collaborators, supporters and sponsors with whom we worked together in the preparation process of this congress, and to Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Kadir Topbafl, for he has never left us alone and always appreciated the value of the youth.

We would also like to thank to our dear Minister of State Faruk Nafiz Özak, who often comes to our office and motivates us, who thinks and provides us with all the equipments required and who accommodates us here .

Muzaffer Demir

The President of Istanbul Youth Assembly

What is e-gençlik Association?

e-gençlik Association is a story that began with only twenty volunteers in 2003. The number of these storytellers increased as we were determined not only to tell the story but to live it at the same time. Since that time, we have kept going whit working, headed with more than a hundred volunteers in a more powerful way.

In addition, we still keep the excitement and the energy that we had on the first day.

The wish to hold the land that is commended to us above the level of the modern civilizations in the way Atatürk wants it and in a suitable form for the youth made us come together in a cultural synthesis despite the fact that we grew up in different cultures, fields, and different conceptions.

While we were pursuing this aim, the projects that we handled were not only for social improvement but our being a millstone in functioning as a bridge between the cultures made us feel proud and turned into a source of power for our future plans. But how did we achieve this? By trusting ourselves…

We were sure about what we had done; we knew that we could increase our capacity with the help of our excitement and the fire of youth.

The fire in us has become more powerful now. When we turn back to past and see what did up to date and recall them, we burst with joy. We believe that we will be the source of light for the next generations. And this enlightened and led and generation, with the light in their hearts, will make this road brighter for the next generations. Consequently, there will be wishes full of hopes and all will come true. Because e-gençlik Association is the only address where success never ends.

What is Peace Child ‹nternational?

What is PCI? Peace Child International is a UKregistered educational charity with a network of more than 1,500 affiliate groups in over 180 countries. Peace Child's mission is to ‘empower young people - first to inform themselves about global challenges their generation faces, and then take action to be the change they want to see in the world. This mission is reflected in all our projects and publications.

PCI supports young people around the world to produce books, musicals, educational materials – lesson plans, workshops and training courses on the major generational challenges they will face in their lifetimes: climate change, peace, human rights, poverty elimination through sustainable development etc. PCI hosts the bi-annual World and European Youth Congress series to promote these goals.

Founded in 1981, PCI began its journey in the Cold War era, working with young people to create a musical on how to end the nuclear stand-off between the USA and the former USSR. The performances resulted in the first ever US-Soviet youth exchange in 1986 and many subsequent exchanges between the two countries. Peace Child still uses theatre as a vehicle for change.

The international headquarters, near Cambridge in the UK, is run by young international volunteers, supported by a small permanent – older - staff. Interns generally stay for a year and take leadership roles on the various PCI programmes. There is a similar office in Bangalore, India which also welcomes young, committed volunteers.

What is the Istanbul Youth Assembly?

What is Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Youth Assembly?

Since the city in which we live has a younger and more dynamic population as compared to other metropolitan cities and to benefit from this potential young population more efficiently, The Youth Assembly was established on May 19, 2005 by the youngsters of Istanbul, supported by the Metropolitan Municipality. The demographic superiority of young people is one of the most important issues for the area to plan in advance utilizing their talents. In this context the Youth Assembly founded by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is a platform in which the young can make the most effective and fruitful use of their energies.

IMM Youth Assembly operates in 2 years terms and it completed its first term in the years 2005-2007, second term in 2007-2009; and started its third term officially November 1st, 2009 with the attendance from all over Istanbul and universities in Istanbul. Our Assembly continues its projects with a President, 2 Agents of the President, 7 Lounge Members and 16 Commissions. The works of the Youth Assembly are proceeding with confident steps having a staff of 300 full members and 5000 voluntary members.

What is the World Youth Congress?

THE WYC Journey!

Hawaii, 1999

The 1st World Youth Congress brought young people from all over the world together to discuss and agree the “Ten priorities for the 21st Century.” The idea of Youth led Development became a major theme. A year later the UN created the Millenium Development Goals, which reflected the priorities presented by the delegates at the congress. The Be the Change! publication produced at the Congress looked at youth initiatives around the world.

Morocco, 2003

Taken one step further with practical outcomes – the Casablanca Declaration, presented a program of action with what young people wanted to achieve with governments. The message couldn’t have been more clear; we wanted to work together in a true intergenerational partnership!

The WYC is not about only talking about issues, in Morocco, we added a new element to our program, the Action Projects, this gave delegates the opportunity to turn their words into action, taking part in projects around the country, getting hands on experience with community initiatives in the host country.

Scotland, 2005

In Scotland we started to see the incredible impact that the WYC series has had the young people who have attended previous editions. The 3rd World Youth Congress was an incredible opportunity for participants to share and learn from each other’s experiences leading community development projects.

One of the major outcomes of the congress, was the toolkit “Nothing for Us without Us”, a step-by-step guide on how to manage youth-led development projects from beginning to the end. It is completely made up of personal stories and experiences from our participants.

What is World youth Congress?

Quebec City, 2008

On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the city we got together to celebrate youth achievements, and share best practices. Throughout the Congress, young activists from all corners of the world told their stories, and shared their best-practices.

As a result, we created the book “A Celebration of Youth-led Development” – a series of case studies telling the stories of projects led by young people from all around the world.

In Quebec, we also had for the first time, a special category of participation dedicated for Young Educators. During the Congress they created the “World Class Lesson Plans”, with ideas and experiences on raising the profile of global education in both formal and nonformal education.

Expectations for Turkiye

One of the major outcomes of the Regional Meetings in the 5th World Youth Congress is the creation of the Istanbul Action Plan, which will be presented to all Youth Ministers gathering in Mexico for the World Youth Conference.

We also want to take our work a step further, and get better in what we do! So we decided to focus this 5th WYC into discussing Monitoring and Evaluation of Youth-led Development Projects. As a result of this process we will be putting together a M&E toolkit which aims to further professionalise youth-led development projects.

We also want to build “The Road to Rio+20” – which seeks to mobilize all young people to lobby for sustainable prosperity ahead of the Government Rio+20 Summit in Brazil in 2012 and our 6th World Youth congress.

Participants

Over 1000 of the most active young people from 147 countries are gathering here in Istanbul for the 5th World Youth Congress and to ensure we have people from different backgrounds with different experiences, we have 5 different categories of participation. They include:

Youth-Led Development Activists:

These are the young people who are actively creating positive change within their communities around the world through their projects, trainings, peer-to-peer teaching initiatives and social enterprises.

Young Educators:

Young people who are passionate about raising awareness and empowering their peers and their communities through both formal and non-formal education. They are coming to share experiences, learn new methods and ideas and see how to be more effective and relevant.

Young Journalists:

Young media-makers - professional or not – that are coming to be the eyes, ears and the voices of the Congress inside the Campus, and around the world.

Young Artists for Development:

Young artists are those who seek to communicate powerful messages about global issues through their art. They are painters, dancers, sculptures, actors, musicians, etc and are all coming to share their experiences and learn from best practices.

Young Entrepreneurs:

Young people leading their own social enteprises non and for-profit businesses. They come to share their expeirence and discuss how we can make business work for people and the planet.

Throughout the program, you can find sessions and workshops recommended for each of those categories. But please, note that these are only recommendations, and in most cases (unless otherwise specified) they are open and suitable for ALL delegates.

PROGRAM

Programme at Glance

Program Highlights

Aile Meetings

During the World Youth Congress, participants are divided into small groups called “Aile” which means “Family” in Turkish. Each has its own Turkish host known as the “Aile Leader”. These groups meet daily to touch base and learn the instructions for the day. It is at the Aile morning meeting where participants will be informed of any changes in the program, and receive news and messages from the organizers. It’s very important that you don’t miss the morning meetings, to ensure you are not lost in the program during the day.

Regional Meetings

During the WYC, you will meet young people coming from all corners of the world, with very different experiences and backgrounds. In previous congresses, participants raised the need to reserve a space for regional discussions, and that’s why we created the Regional Meetings. These meetings are an opportunity for you to meet and discuss with people from your region, who understand your situation and often face the same challenges.

In Turkiye, 3 Regional Meetings will take place, where participants will be divided into 17 regions. Here they will have the opportunity to meet other participants learn more about their projects and the work they are doing. They will be able to share best practices, as well as discuss the challenges faced while trying to come up with common solutions. One of the major outcomes of the Regional Meetings in the 5th World Youth Congress is the creation of the Istanbul Action Plan, which will be presented to all Youth Ministers gathering in Mexico for the World Youth Conference.

We invite participants to engage in the discussions of the region they feel is closest to their reality and therefore most relevant to them.

Program Highlights

Exhibition

Exhibition is the opportunity for delegates as well as UN Agencies and other international organizations to share their best practices in Youth-led Development and their experience on what young people are doing - and can do - to help support their governments and the UN to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The place for that is our Exhibition hall which creates a great Market space – a unique communication environment to exchange ideas and information, to expend the existing networks and build new ones. We have reserved this special time for the delegates to take the opportunity to share and get in touch.

"Peace Child Alpha Omega"

Peace Child Alpha Omega is a program involving three partners, Peace Child International (UK), the Sillimae Society for Child Welfare (Estonia) and e-gençlik Association (Turkiye). It has been sponsored by the European Commission DG Education and Culture to explore intercultural, inter-generational dialogue, as well as exploring how to build harmony between different religious groups. The vehicle for doing this was David Gordon's oratorio:

"Alpha Omega"

This music has been central to each production, even though the issues vary according to country. In England we called it a "musical journey through faith" looking at how religion far from dividing people could bring them closer together. In Estonia where religion is not often discussed they focused on inter generational themes. Estonian/Russian interaction was another underlying issue. Here in Turkiye, the director Deniz Tuner has created a musical set in a high school in Istanbul where students face prejudices over clashing cultures and ideas.

Action Projects

During the Congress, participants will take part in 4 days of Action Projects in different parts of Istanbul as well as neighbor cities. It’s time to leave the talking aside and to take real action. Through the “Imece Game” participants and communities will take on the challenge of working together to deliver a small-scale community improvement projects with limited resources and time! Participants and members of the community will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, while building together the dream of that community in a true Imece spirit.

Program Highlights

Be The Change! Program

Peace Child's "Be The Change!" program gives small grants to young people starting up their own community development projects around the world. If you are inspired to take action on what happens in your community, you can submit your proposal to your regional coordinator. There are two calls every year, and a special one during each World Youth Congress. The PCI team will work with you before the selection takes place and during the mentoring phase, to ensure your proposal covers all of the requirements. Once selected, we will help you monitor the learning process during the project, and prepare the final evaluation to present once the project is completed. For more information go to www.peacechild.org or write to your regional coordinator.

Brouhaha Celebrations!

After 4 days of action projects, we will return for a celebration evening with Brouhaha! Brouhaha International is an arts and cultural development agency with a particular focus on promoting cultural diverstity professional and participatory work. Based in Liverpool, England they stage huge festivals around the world. Their 60 international performers come from Spain (Flamenco dance) Malta (Brass carnival band) UK (Brazilian drumming group) Holland (Hip Hop dance group) Italy (Mask clowning group) and Turkiye (Roma dance group). They will deliver workshops with young people in the time leading up to the parade which will include dance, clowning/mask work percussion etc.

Concert – UN International Youth Year Launch

The Concert will feature Brouhaha, selected performers from the Congress and the Messengers of Truth. The Messengers of Truth Program was set up to encourage artists’ communication of positive messages for urban youth selfempowerment. In addition it aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of artists in helping to meet the challenges of urban unemployment, safety, social cohesion, health, and inclusive and decent urban infrastructure.

Key Congress Questions: – “What is the most effective role for youth in development?” - and - “What are the best reasons for investing in youth in development?”

These two questions are, of course, linked. For example, if you feel that the most effective role for youth in development is peer-mentoring on HIV-AIDS prevention, then a good reason for investing in youth is to reduce the number of new HIV-AIDS infections. What other equations like this can you think of? Developing them, and gathering the data to prove our hunches, is the best way to make the case for increased investment in youthled development.
