PROGRAM
Leadership Forum 2013 was made up of three separate but complimentary components: think-tank, drafting of UN Global Compact Good Practice Notes* and defining areas for improved grassroots awareness. Participants engaged in debate, discussion, and dialogue aimed at defining new norms, social cues, and cultural practices needed to build robust environment for young people to thrive.
* UN Good Practice Notes are not endorsed nor are they the expressed opinion of Forum 2013 delegates
