What is the GYF20
Organised by the ICA- EU framework partnership agreement (#coops4dev), ANGKASA (the Malaysian cooperative federation) and the ICA Youth Networks, the GYF20 will take place from 3rd to 7th of February 2020, in Kuching, Malaysia.
For its first edition, the GYF aims to bring together young entrepreneurs and professionals from all around the world in order to offer them quality training sessions to improve their skills and knowledge.

Does all this sound interesting to you? Then, looking forward to seeing you in Kuching!
Yes i would like to participate and help to the youth entrepreneur with our best.
Great! Thanks for that ?
Should we take it that there is no honorarium/payment for the work of designing and delivering the training sessions?
Hi Sion! Indeed, there is no specific payment for that, but we are providing flights, local transport, accommodation, breakfast, and lunch! Let’s add what you get on a personal level from helping young motivated entrepreneurs while promoting the coop model, and we hope this is enough to attract passionate future trainers/leaders 🙂
Of course! Lesson in intergenerational transmission of the principle of unpaid labour ?
We would rather name it intergenerational transmission of the principles of education, training and information, but also of solidarity! We still believe on those 🙂
Incredible points. Outstanding arguments. Keep up the great effort.
Do we have to apply individually? Or can we be a group (2 or 3) of trainers on one same application?
