*What is the YPFDJ conference?*
YPFDJ hosts an annual youth conferences where young Eritreans from around
the world meet to exchange their ideas and share community development and
back home project experiences. YPFDJ conferences offer a platform to
showcase and assess the work carried out by the youth organizations all
over the world; it allows Eritrean youth to learn and interact with
Eritrean leaders about Eritrea's internal and foreign affairs. It is a
unique platform organized by the youth with the help of the Eritrean
community that allows like- minded Eritrean youth to work with each other,
ask questions, share resources and opportunities. It is also a community of
young Eritreans whose members work together and support each other for a
noble and common goal (to build a strong conscious and patriotic youth
movement). Annual YPFDJ conferences are held both in Europe and North
America. The first European YPFDJ conference was held in Germany and the
first one in North America was held in Washington DC. This year Toronto is
hosting the 8th Annual YPFDJ Conference and is doing so for the second time.

*Why is the YPFDJ conference important?*
The YPFDJ conference is the only successful platform for Eritrean youth,
organized by Eritrean youth. This platform provides Eritrean youth from all

express their Eritrean identity through concentrated and coordinated
activities.
