The central theme of the Day was provided Integrating Diversity therefore all workshops were based on it.
Therefore, each leader had the opportunity to present their country and especially the activities in your Association so that everyone could know the different programs by which the YMCA responsibility around the world. In addition, we dedicate an entire afternoon to exchange experience between us about the socio-economic and political of our nations. That way, everyone could expose the main conflict or issue under discussion in your country and tell how the young acemistas or the Association itself has been acting about it.
Finally, redatamos a statement about the meeting, which has some recommendations and proposals to the YMCA, especially the youth leadership, as well as for the next Days. They all turned to peace in our communities, in our country and the world.
