Jeju Special Self-Governing Province has invited youths around the world to the 10th Jeju Youth Forum from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 hosted at Jeju Training Center of the Korean Federation of Community Credit Cooperatives. The event is jointly hosted by Jeju and the Jeju Office of Education and supervised by UNITAR CIFAL Jeju and the provincial office of education. The main theme of this year's youth forum is "Global Responsibilities to Counter Challenges - The Role of Young Global Leaders for Building and Keeping Peace." A total of 157 youths from the world's 29 cities will be engaged in a heated discussion over the theme.

Participants will be divided into eight teams to discuss topics including: school violence; poverty reduction and peace building; ideological extremism and terrorism; and gender and non-violent action.

The organizers said the Youth Forum will serve as an opportunity for the participants to grow into mature global citizens by understanding cultural diversity and building friendship and trust.
