This will also serve as one of the launching activities for the International Year of the Volunteer + 10 (IYV+10) to be celebrated in 2011.
The Volunteer Fair and Youth Forum aims to provide a venue for around 500 youth leaders and volunteer to come together; share and process their experiences in volunteerism; identify their strengths and weaknesses; and enhance leadership skills, techniques and strategies in the pursuit of the UN Millennium Development Goals.
