20.01.2022 A Gift 4 Lebanon was the concept under which the WLCU Youth worked during its congress on July 24 During the 10-day-WLCU-Youth-meeting in Lebanon called #LEBo...lution, a congress was held on July 24 with the presence of the Minister of Tourism, Mr. Michel Pharaon, WLCU’s several authorities as its World President, Mr. Alejandro Kuri and its Secretary General, Mr. Toni Kaddissi and the 200 young participants coming from 20 countries worldwide. The congress opening was in charge of Miss Nissrin Esber, the President of the WLCU Youth, who said in her speech: Lebanon needs us in many ways and this one, the mere fact of bringing back the young sons and daughters of Lebanon, is one of those ways. It’s the way within our means. Moreover, she added: How can we really contribute to Lebanon? We think the Youth of the World Lebanese Cultural Union is an adequate space to try new formulas, to work from the emigration in different fields and to create projects in Lebanon and abroad, always seeking to keep safe the Lebanese identity and heritage. As it is happening now, the WLCU Youth helps us to know each other and put together our big Lebanese family, spread all over the world, creating a big and solid networking from a peaceful base. After the opening, the 200 young participants were divided per countries and worked on an activity called A Gift for Lebanon. As its name says, the activity sought to create a positive impact in Lebanon. For the conclusions, it was demonstrated how engaged the Lebanese youth abroad is with its Motherland. The WLCU Youth, present in these 20 countries that were represented and more, is working nowadays in accomplishing some of the projects that were exposed. Below you can find the some projects per countries: ARGENTINA Topic: Human Rights I am Lebanese too.
