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:
“We are not a religious people, but we are a nation of politicians. We do not care for the Bible, but we do care for the newspaper. At any meeting of politicians ... how impertinent it would be to quote from the Bible! how pertinent to quote from a newspaper or from the Constitution!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... 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)
