Description
2009 was an amazing year for YCC and for youth. More than 400 workshops were held world wide by individual organizations using YCC-guidelines. Finally a YCC-delegation of 15 participants from Denmark, Mexico, Kuwait, Namibia and Tunisia went to Copenhagen the main capital of Denmark to speak for youth and encourage the world leaders to take action at the COP15 climate conference held by the UN. It was a tough challenge, even to get inside the UN-building and get the message out, but we managed and gained A LOT of experience which will come at hand at COP16 in Mexico December 2010.
