UNESCO-UNEVOC was invited to present its work in the area of youth development and TVET at the 5th Global YES Summit “Rework the World”, which took place in Leksand, Sweden, on 2-5 June 2010. In particular, the Centre was asked to contribute to the working session “Rework People: Business Solutions for Skills Training of Rural Youth”, which addressed problems of unemployment and the lack of relevant skills of rural youth, and which promoted innovative approaches to dealing with youth unemployment.
At this session, a representative of UNESCO-UNEVOC gave a presentation on “Skill building of rural youth for private sector jobs: Lessons from UNESCO-UNEVOC's experience”. The presentation focused on the work of UNESCO-UNEVOC in the areas of knowledge sharing and innovation, with particular reference to collaborative partnerships and innovative approaches in skills building in the context of education for sustainable development.
The 2010 YES Summit, which was organized by Youth Entrepreneurship and Sustainability (YES) Inc. and the Tällberg Foundation in partnership with the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, aimed to generate investments and connections that will be taken forward to the final YES Summit in Alexandria, Egypt, in 2012. The entry point to the discussions were the employment opportunities of the future. One hundred concrete initiatives and ventures from all over the world were introduced.
