Following the success of the 17th World Council the YMCA World Urban network Conference formally opens this evening. WUN brings together the Chief Executives of significant urban YMCAs from acorss the globe. Almost 100 participants will be focussing on the theme of "The Health of Children and Youth around the World"
More than 1.75 billion 10 - 24 year olds are on the planet and a shocking 10 million children die every year - that is more than 1000 every hour. Almost all of these children could survive and thrive if they had access to simple affordable interventions.
The conference will explore best practice in YMCAs as well as focussing on how we advocate on behalf of children and young people and ensure that they have a voice.
