Youth Forum 2008 - Topics

 

Once the topics for the Youth Forum were developed, we wanted to graphically demonstrate what each of the topics represents. Taking the WorldSkills International “hand” symbol, which symbolises the youth of all countries, reaching out for new skills, we have created six images that represent the key topic areas. Our goal is to create an atmosphere,that encourages the Youth Forum Delegates to think outside the box and to stimulate discussion and debate.

Topic A: Almost famous?

fa·mous [fey-muhs] - adjective
