We are encouraging all youth to participate to help create the next generation of coops!
👉Participate in the Youth Leadership Exchange Program (YLEP) Are you interested in learning about cooperatives? The Youth Committee is inviting you to apply for a tailor-made study tour hosted by the National Cooperative Union of India that will take place 1-8 December. A small group of 15 international youth will be chosen to become inspired by cooperatives by getting to know and visiting cooperatives and members of the International Cooperative Alliance in India just after the Global Conference. The program will include not only visits to cooperatives in different cities but also community service activities, team building and workshops. Learn more about the concept behind YLEP here.
The cost to participate in the YLEP will be approximately EUR 620 (euros) for local meals, transport and lodging (in a shared room in a hostel). You can apply for a bursary to cover all or part of these costs.

The EUR 200 entrance fee to the global conference is not included and must be paid by the delegate.
