3,000 guests from 86 countries to take part in World Youth Forum

CAIRO – 20 October 2017: Preparations ongoing to host 3,000 guests from 86 countries to attend the World Youth Forum (WYF), the biggest event Egypt hosts in 23 years, which will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh from November 4-10, according to a statement on Friday by the forum’s manager, Gihan el-Hadidy.

The guest list includes world leaders, representatives of youth from all continents, and young entrepreneurs from various fields to share the story of their success and inspire others.

The hashtag #WeNeedToTalk, launched by the organizing committee, has attracted a large audience and has led to the interaction of many young people from all over the world where, during the past week, they shared their ideas and impressions about the forum.

Participation in the forum was managed by registrations through the official website, according to el-Hadidy. She added that young Egyptians who will take part in the forum will be representing all the republic to give them the chance to express their hopes, projects and ideas before the whole world. Some participants are recommended by different embassies in Egypt as well.

The forum will witness the presence of young Egyptians abroad, the sons of the Egyptian communities who never had the chance to come home and share their ambitions with their country.
