What is YouthCan for International Dialogue?
YFID is a federally incorporated Canadian Non-Profit organization whose goal is to involve youth in diplomacy and meaningful dialogue at an international level. YFID hosted the very successful 2010 G8/G20 Youth Summit in Vancouver in May 2010. Over 100 delegates from 20 countries came to Canada to participate in the week-long conference.
Every year, YFID recruits students and young professionals to represent Canada at the annual Summit, whose location is in the country where the real G8 Summit takes place.
Past summits have taken our team to: * St. Petersburg, Russia (2006) * Berlin, Germany (2007) * Yokohama, Japan (2008) * Milan, Italy (2009) * Vancouver Canada (2010) * Paris, France (2011) * Washington D.C, United States (2012).
In 2013, the summit is being hosted jointly by our partners in Russia and the United Kingdom. The summit will be split into two separate events, with the Y20 Summit taking place in St. Petersburg, and the G8 Summit taking place in London, UK.
