The International Coordination Meeting of Youth Organisations (ICMYO), an international forum for the world's largest youth movements and regional youth platforms, meets once a year. It involves regional platforms such as the Pan African Youth Union (PYU), Asian Youth Council, Pacific Youth Council and the European Youth Forum. Next to these, it gathers international youth organisations such as World Organisation of the Scout Movement, Young Men's Christian Association, Global Young Greens, IUSY, and Pax Romana (IMCS).
Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or youth:
“Love’s the only thing I’ve thought of or read about since I was knee-high. That’s what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love. And when that remarkable thing happened, I was going to recite poetry to her for hours about how her heart’s an angel’s wing and her hair the strings of a heavenly harp. Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
