The Latin American Youth Forum (LAYF) has been operating since January 2009. LAYF is a youth lead initiative of 50+ youths that supports their involvement in their communities, promotes a clear vision of their rights and responsibilities as citizens in a multicultural society, helps them address issues concerning their cultural identity and pushes them away from existing negative stereotypical images. To achieve this, LAYF runs a set of educational and artistic activities facilitated by a project coordinator.
