from 9 countries \u2013 all under 25 \u2013 came together for what was then known as a \u2018World Conference\u2019.\u00a0 At that meeting, our foundational document the \u2018Paris Basis\u2019 was created and adopted. On the 100th anniversary of the first World Conference, the naming convention changed to \u2018World Council\u2019. Special highlights have included the issuing of the\u00a0Kampala Principles\u00a0in Uganda (1973), and\u00a0Challenge 21 in Frechen, Germany (1998). At our World Council in Hong Kong in 2010, young people were not placed at the heart of our movement. They were relegated to side roles, and weren\u2019t given the opportunity to be actively involved at World Council. Fast forward four years, and there was a global shift across the organisation towards focussing on the common purpose of Empowering Young People. We built on this positive momentum and pushed further in 2018, with the theme of Youth Empowerment 4 Good in Thailand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3b5d8c e-container--row e-container\" data-id=\"e3b5d8c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9dacfc e-container--column e-container\" data-id=\"f9dacfc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2aa8504 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2aa8504\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>1855, Paris, France<\/li><li>1858, Geneva, Switzerland<\/li><li>1862, London, UK<\/li><li>1865, Elberfeld, Germany<\/li><li>1867, Paris, France<\/li><li>1872, Amsterdam, Netherland<\/li><li>1875, Geneva, Switzerland<\/li><li>1881, London, UK<\/li><li>1884, Berlin, Germany<\/li><li>1888, Stockholm, Sweden<\/li><li>1891, Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/li><li>1894, London, UK<\/li><li>1898, Basel, Switzerland<\/li><li>1902, Christiania, Norway<\/li><li>1905, Paris, France<\/li><li>1909, Elberfeld, Germany<\/li><li>1913, Edinburgh, UK<\/li><li>1926, Helingfors, Finland<\/li><li>1931, Cleveland, USA<\/li><li>1937, Mysore, India<\/li><li>1955, Paris, France<\/li><li>1957, Kassel, Germany<\/li><li>1961, Geneva, Switzerland<\/li><li>1965, Tozanso, Japan<\/li><li>1969, Nottingham, UK<\/li><li>1973, Kampala, Uganda<\/li><li>1977, Buenos Aires, Argentina<\/li><li>1981, Estes Park, Colorado, USA<\/li><li>1985, Nyborg, Denmark<\/li><li>1988, San Nicolas, Aruba<\/li><li>1991, Seoul, South Korea<\/li><li>1994, Coventry, UK<\/li><li>1998, Frechen, Germany<\/li><li>2002, Oaxtepec, Mexico<\/li><li>2006, Durban, South Africa<\/li><li>2010, Hong Kong, Hong Kong<\/li><li>2014, Estes Park, Colorado, USA<\/li><li>2018, Chiang Mai, Thailand<\/li><li>2022, Aarhus, Denmark<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1730bc1 e-container--column e-container\" data-id=\"1730bc1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01b8205 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01b8205\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/ymcamadras.org.in\/webapp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52202955289_9bdb4ffe46_k.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8d2084 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c8d2084\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ymcamadras.org.in\/webapp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0a44243a-8bfc-39b2-7eee-262eac585d4e-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac32909 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ac32909\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ymcamadras.org.in\/webapp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FXJt_g1XoAYZIng.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Council The World Council is the highest governing body of the global YMCA Movement.
