Welcome to the #GYF21!

The Global Youth Forum – Cooperative Entrepreneurship aims at bringing together young entrepreneurs and professionals from all around the world in order to offer them quality training sessions to improve their skills, knowledge, and motivation. The peer-to-peer training approach is expected to lead to new solutions and recommendations, to help the attendees learn from the best practices, and to foster new ideas and innovation in the field of youth and cooperative entrepreneurship.

The event is organized within the framework of the Partnership on international development signed between the International Cooperative Alliance and the European Commission (#coops4dev ). 

Last year, for its first edition - the GYF20, more than 180 participants from 50 countries met in Kuching, Malaysia. Take a glimpse into the event by watching this video!

This year, the event is going fully virtual. We are not able to meet in person, but let’s see the positive side: going virtual also means meeting more easily, receiving training from your own home while creating friendships with inspiring people from all over the world.

With this second edition, we hope to bring out the best of the GYF experience!  

Are you ready? Let’s meet, let’s learn, let’s cooperate, and also, let’s have fun! 

This event has been co-funded by the European Union. The content of this event is the sole responsibility of the International Cooperative Alliance and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Union.
