Quito, Ecuador – August 16, 2016 – Youth organization CLIC launched a campaign seeking community support for their YoutHab Conference. This event is part of the multi-disciplinary youth movement, the YoutHab Project. The program works in a collaborative, participatory, and collective way to address issues such as habitat and right to the city, which is based on the six axes of the New Urban Agenda of UN-Habitat III. The goal is to raise $18,000. Funds received will be used to cover a percentage of the courier fee, food for fifteen youth leaders worldwide, and seed capital grant for the youth leaders’ projects.

With a presence in eleven Latin American countries, the group share skills, knowledge and initiatives dynamically to create a space and platform to empower young people.
The YoutHab Conference will take place in Quito, Ecuador from October 13-15 of this year, which is a few days before UN-Habitat III Conference. This event will be the world’s first Youth Declaratory regarding the New Urban Agenda.
