This year the UNAOC aims to provide seed funding to exceptional youth projects that have a special focus on areas that concern UNAOC such as fostering mutual respect, understanding and long-term positive relationships between peoples of different cultures and religions.
About
The Youth Solidarity Fund (YSF) provides seed funding to outstanding youth-led initiatives that promote long-term constructive relationships between people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.
