Distinguished Delegates,

Welcome to International Youth Diplomacy Conference 2018. I am highly delighted to serve as your President for the fourth session of International Youth Diplomacy Conference, which will be held from Tuesday, July 17th 2018 to Saturday, July 21st 2018 at University of Ghana, Legon. We expect to connect a thousand youths and MUN enthusiasts across Africa from thirty-five (35) countries as UN representatives, and having ex-Presidents, Diplomats, astute Entrepreneurs in the Elders Forum to address some key issues that affects the African youth demography. Since its maiden edition in 2015, IYDC will continue to raise the flag of excellence and provide appropriate opportunity for delegates to garner relevant practical skills in a constructive, organic and energetic forum while at the same vein enjoying memorable social and tour activities, ambassadorial visits, career development seminar, delectable dinner and awards ceremony.

Highlighting the underlying issues towards youth unemployment in Africa, our grand theme for the year is “Investing in Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovations; a Curb to Youth Unemployment”. Sequel to the theme, delegates are expected to extensively discuss from the purview of private sector innovations, entrepreneurial ecosystem, poverty and unemployment risks, social capital, smart solutions, evolutionary and disruptive tech innovations, and the futuristic demography. Specialised simulation of French committee and Business committee will be initiated at this year’s conference. Press Corps committee is also available for those interested in journalism, to compile the critical issues discussed in all the councils.

Nobel Laureate Arne Tiselus once stated that “We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language.” Thus, we cannot be more thrilled and excited to see you debate and simulate the most pertinent issues with the art of intercultural diplomacy to promote peace and economic development to the African continent.

Yours Sincerely,

Afolabi Williams

  1. Hello. I see that you don’t update your page too often. I know that writing content is boring and time consuming.

    But did you know that there is a tool that allows you
    to create new posts using existing content (from article directories or other websites from your niche)?
    And it does it very well. The new articles are unique and pass the copyscape test.
    Search in google and try: miftolo’s tools

  2. Very good blog you have here but I was wanting to
    know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about in this
    article? I’d really like to be a part of online community
    where I can get feedback from other experienced people that share the
    same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me
    know. Thank you!
