World Festival of Youth & Students

WFDY, along with its member organisations and other international organisation such as IUS (International Union of Students) organises a World Festival of Youth and Students once every four years, to celebrate and share experiences of struggle with other young people across the globe.

The YCL plays a central role in organising the British delegations to each one of the festivals. At the 16^th festival, held in Caracas, Venezuela in August 2005, more than 100 delegates from 30 organisations attended to participate as part of the British delegation. This was the largest and most broad based delegation for 20 years. For more information on the 16^th World Festival go to www.wfdy.org/16festivals.htm

Building the Unity of Youth

On November 10, 1945 the World Youth Conference, held in the Royal Albert Hall London (at which the YCL and its sister organisations against the world were present), founded the World Federation of Democratic Youth. This historic Conference convened at the initiative of the World Youth Council which was formed during World War 2, to fight against fascism, by the youth organisations in the allied countries, brought together for the first time in the history of the international youth movement representatives of more than 30 million young people of different political ideologies and religious beliefs from 63 nations. It adopted a pledge for peace.
