The 12th International Youth Leadership Conference is a week-long youth forum on world politics, international relations, and law. It will be held from 2nd to 7th January 2007 at Prague, Czech Republic.
The Most recent 11th IYLC conferences welcomed 150 students from an average of 50 different countries worldwide, with a strong emphasis on cross-cultural, international youth empowerment, and an open-minded exchange of different perspectives on global issues.
Participants play active roles in simulations of important world organizations:
-UN Security Council Crisis Meeting
-International Criminal Court Trial
-Model European Parliament Proceeding
Other conference activities include visits to foreign embassies, Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Senate, group debates, banquet dinners, and free time to explore the beautiful streets of Prague.
I personally went through this conference in 2005, and I would say that it is a conference that helped us to learn a lot about international relations, especially inter-country relationships. When I was there, issues like EU Accession, Darfur, North Korea, Israel/Palestine etc were being examined.

For this conference, it is a little pricey at 750 Euro. There are 30 scholarships available to partially subsidize the conference cost.
Again, I would like to encourage fellow ReComers to explore a lot of such conferences to benefit from it. The learning curve over such conferences are very steep, and it gives you a lot of great opportunities to learn from the world's best minds.
