Through the conference, I aspire to broaden my perceptions, diversify my mind, and obtain many valuable and pioneering information.

I am very interested to join the forum as an opportunity to gain exposure to further experiences and practices related to land rights issues and land governance in the region and other parts of the globe. I would be so happy to share the gain from the forum with my community with more focus on youth and women.

Junior project manager at YOURS, a global organisation focused on making roads safer for youth. She has been selected as the first ambassador for the European Year for Youth.

I expect to exchange experiences extensively with the participants and transfer them on the ground in an effective and fruitful manner. I will bring with me a Jordanian shemagh and some symbolic gifts that show the image of the bright Jordan.

I expect GLFY to develop a strategic plan in order to preserve the earth through various innovative tools, especially the issue of climate change.

I believe that the Investment in agricultural lands could be an excellent opportunity to create more jobs and improve the youth’s livelihoods, which could lead to improve the national food security and a decrease in the unemployment rates in Jordan

I am always strive to create positive change for the community with love and peace. It is our mandate to protect planet Earth by all means necessary! There is no planet B.

My area suffers from many agricultural problems, reason why I believe in the necessity of youth solidarity in the first place to solve these problems.

I believe that land rights are fundamental and strategic to achieving a world with resilient food systems, through lower net emissions, greater environmental conservation, and freedom from hunger and poverty. I hope to understand the fundamentals of people- and planet-centered land management and how they contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

I expect that it will be a fruitful meeting filled with knowledge and different cultures, and that we will all come up with creative solutions and ideas that make the earth and our environment better.

I care about land and I am trying to learn more about the ways to help solving it problems.

I'm studying now master’s degree in media at the Middle East University, and I previously worked in the media field as a press editor. I expect from “GLFY” to develop my skills and gain new experiences, relationships and habits.

The GLFY will be an opportunity for me to launch, with other youth leaders, joint actions to identify the real challenges of youth in accessing land across the different regions of the world and solutions to reverse the current trend.

I hope to prove that the goodness of empowering the next generation will help redefine and harness leadership and transformation towards youth-centred land governance.

I will develop new friendships and partnerships that will at the end help in advancing the interest of the young people in Malawi through my youth land rights activism.

It is an opportunity to learn more alongside many other young people, but also other activists on good practices and approaches to building more humane and responsible societies in terms of land rights

The fellowship is already shaping my work on land governance through experience-sharing. This has been quite insightful in helping me understand what I need to do and how I can do it based on what others have done in their respective countries.

Let's come up with a global roadmap or work plan backed by the ILC that shapes land policies in a way that contributes to the realisation of the SDGs.

Youth have for a long time been sidelined in the management of land and community land, let's remedy that!

GLFY will act as an essential platform where youth from all over, come together to form and build movements aiming at fighting for environmental justice as a key approach to ecosystem restoration and land governance.

I would like to see more collaborative actions agreed on from the forum and these should entail grassroots voices and their struggles.

With the teaching from trainers and experience sharing with colleagues, I will be able to strengthen my skills on land governance.

I'd like to make my voice heard to the decision-makers of the world to tell them that no one should decide on behalf of young people without young people, because what is done for us, without us is almost against us.

I look forward to meeting and connecting with other outstanding young people to better understand youth leadership and the values that come when young people are trusted and empowered.

I am thrilled by the possibility of contributing to a process that will positively affect young people who want to work the land and identify with their own territory.

I see this program as a fundamental step in order to make the different products of our territory visible and to empower young leaders so that problems that affect rural youth are included in the public and social agenda.

I want to promote our agenda - built by young women within the framework of our school - which accounts for the needs of each territory so that it may serve as a basis for building a global policy.

I dream that young people can have access to their own land so that they can work and live on it.

With my participation in this forum I seek to strengthen my skills and knowledge in order to face land related problems in my region.

I dream that young people can have equal access to land and land to call their own so that they can work and live on it.

I seek to share my work experiences in the defence of land and territory so that it can serve other communities.

As a young Aymara, I wish to make a positive contribution for the promotion of a young leadership, the recognition of indigenous peoples' right to their territories, the conservation of biodiversity and the respect for traditional knowledge.

My dream is to ensure that new generations get involved in collective action supporting projects that allow us to advance more solidly towards self-determination.

Future Leaders is important for the political training of new leaders in our communities and organisations.

We are a group of Guarani indigenous women focused on intraculturality, gender, our territory and nature preservation.

My goal is to promote an agenda for territorial governance and land management together with organised youth from Mexico and Latam. This is vital for the sustainable development of communities that are the guardians of forest ecosystems.

I seek to build processes for women's access to land rights and for promoting greater autonomy for women in the Mayan indigenous territory.

I hope to learn more about the different approaches young leaders use for defending land rights.

Looking forward to connecting with and learning from young leaders across the world as a positive step towards addressing the issues around land, food, sovereignty and justice which impact us all!

My dream is to overcome climate change and the devastation caused by the war in my country, Yemen.

I am aiming at taking advantage of new ideas in order to help and be good to my community and grow in the field of land and grazing.

A great occasion of empowerment and the opportunity to exchange land related knowledge concerning land grabbing but also reappropriation by a community pursuing the same social justice objective.

I hope we can develop a collective and global youth land movement coming out of the GLYF.

I hope that by learning from each other's experience we can come up together with the strategy to work united to protect our lands.

This can contribute to social inclusion, help protect human rights and support climate change adaptation and mitigation.
