International Forum 2009

Highlights of the 10th International Forum in Sydney

It has been 2 weeks since the 10^th International Triennial Forum held in Sydney, and now that we have dusted ourselves off and caught up on sleep we are thrilled with the positive feedback we have received from many of our international delegates and guests in relation to the week.

The International Forum was a meeting for Award participating countries to come together to discuss future developments and governance of the Award globally. It was attended by HRH, The Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex, who is the Chairman of the International Award Association.

We were thrilled that over 50 countries were represented during the week including delegates from Barbados, Cameroon, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Israel, Ireland, United Kingdom, Kenya, Russia, just to name a few.

This was also the first Forum where young Gold Award holders were able to be representatives of the youth across the world, sharing ideas and visions on how to continue growing the Award globally.

We are delighted to share some of the memories and highlights of the week.
