Peace Child International Hawaii invites students ages 15 - 25 to apply for the 7th World Youth Congress (WYC) to be held here in Hawaii June 17 - 25, 2017. WYC 2017 is a celebration of Hōkuleʻa’s return from her World Wide Voyage and an opportunity for our local students to engage with international delegates from around the world as we "Reconnect to Our Ancestral Roots to Build Sustainable Communities." WYC 2017 participants will gain valuable leadership and organizational skills, strengthen their cultural identity, share best practices, and build their professional network by:
Participating in workshops, plenaries, and cultural events including an International Cultural Festival
Engaging in local action projects across the state that focus on aloha ʻāina
Creating a Sustainable Action Toolkit that details how young people can advocate and organize around issues of sustainability and cultural practices on local, national, and international levels
Sharing their talents, either as a cultural performer, media/communications, or community leader
Dialoguing on ways to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
