The UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), in conjunction with the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the Department of Public Information (DPI), is organizing this youth forum as part of the preparatory process for the 2012 ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review (AMR). It will include two dialogue classroom sessions on: training and education to facilitate access to the job market; and promoting youth employment – creating jobs for a more sustainable future. Recommendations from the youth forum will be shared with Member States at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) and at the ECOSOC High-level session in July 2012.
