The aim of the Youth Programme is to work to strengthen the participation of young people and the profile of youth issues at AIDS 2010.

The Youth Pavilion in the Global Village is the main networking space for young people at AIDS 2010. The pavilion will host a diverse programme of sessions, workshops, performances and exhibitions.

Other Youth Programme activities include symposia and a leadership development workshop for delegates, a youth pre-conference, a youth reception, and an advocacy campaign that will include the mobilization of young people for the human rights march (more details about this event will be posted on the conference website in the coming months).

A pocket guide will be provided to young delegates to highlight all youth-related sessions at AIDS 2010 and make participation easier.

Interested participants can apply for this youth pre-conference in Vienna until 20 May. Find out more about the youth programme and download the participant's application form at http://www.aids2010.org/Default.aspx?pageId=178
