World Non-Formal Education Forum

The World Non-Formal Education Forum held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in December 2019 played an instrumental role in bringing together over 300 participants from National Scout Organizations, international organizations, United Nations agencies, as well as youth-serving and youth-led organizations. 

The report highlights the key activities and outcomes of the Forum which was co-organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement, UNICEF, UNFPA, and the Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth. The three-day event explored current and future trends in non-formal education on an international platform, which resulted in the Rio Declaration on Non-Formal Education.
