The objectives of the Jeun'ESS Pre-Forum
The Jeun’ESS Pre-Forum is organised with and for young people on the Corniche Ouest in Dakar. It aims to bring together initiatives and young people from several cities around the world.
- Promoting youth projects in the SSE
A village dedicated to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals will showcase the innovative and inspiring projects of young people in SSE and promote the dissemination of their entrepreneurial know-how.
If you are a young person or if you have a solution for young people, if your project contributes to one or more of the SDGs, apply to exhibit your solution at the SDG Village before 28 February on this link: http://bit.ly/jeunESSodd

The programme consists of inspiring presentations, experience sharing workshops and opportunity fairs: employment, entrepreneurship, research, social innovation, solidarity economy…
- Draft and disseminate a "Youth Call" at the end of the Pre-Forum. This call to action will be the starting point for the action plan for young people in the social and solidarity economy after the Forum.
- Advocate for the adoption of a resolution at the UN General Assembly on SSE in 2023, aiming at strengthening the recognition of the work done by SSE organisations towards the achievement of the SDGs.
