As we gear up for the Youth Forum 2025, our participants are already diving into pre-forum tasks aimed at fostering connections and collaboration. With over 32 dynamic youth leaders, the stage is set for an enriching exchange of ideas and experiences.
Before delving into the substantive discussions and learnings on substance use prevention, the participants are actively engaging with one another. They're taking the time to introduce themselves, make connections, and explore common interests. This pre-forum period serves as the opportunity for youths to establish a sense of community and reflect why their participation in the Youth Forum is meaningful for them.
Stay tuned as we witness the bonds form and anticipation build among our passionate UNODC Youth Forum participants!
