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:
“The meeting in the open of two dogs, strangers to each other, is one of the most painful, thrilling, and pregnant of all conceivabale encounters; it is surrounded by an atmosphere of the last canniness, presided over by a constraint for which I have no preciser name; they simply cannot pass each other, their mutual embarrassment is frightful to behold.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
