We, the organizers of the Summit, invite you to participate in the  Contest for a Youth Shop in the Knowledge Share Fair (KSF) of the Summit. Registering in the Contest is optional and only 30 pro-youth cases will be selected for the KSF.

What is a Youth Shop?

The Youth Shop, like any shop, is a place for the exchange of goods. You, the champion, can share your case, tell your story, divulgate your message to the many other young people in the Summit. So bring your know-how with you and inspire change. #Youth2Youth we can make the difference!

Youth Shop

Each Shop is a 1x1 m delineated space with only a board, pins, a table and two chairs. Making your stand look super cool is up to you. So bring the merchandising, brochures, posters, videos, photo, business cards, build the right attitude dress accordingly and, of course, your shop will be a success!

What is the Knowledge Share Fair?

The KSF is a market place where people go and shop for experiences they find interesting. It will showcase a selection of the best 30 pro-youth cases, chosen by the organizers through a contest.  

This Contest is open to all youth champions leading responsible enterprises, opening decent work opportunities, making youth sensitive microfinance work, connecting the rural and the urban, the local with the global through new technologies, advocating for the inclusion of young women and men in decision making and securing access and tenure of land and the sustainable use of our natural resources.

It thus focuses on Youth taking the leading the exchange of know-how with, by and for other youth enterprises and organizations, government and international agencies, civil society and private sector.

Is there any reward or award if I win one of the thirty Youth Shops?

First of all, winning fame and honor during the Opening of the Summit. Second, a complete set of new contacts. And third, the wisdom that only face to face exchange makes possible.
