"This experience afforded me the opportunity to understand and take part in the political
process in Europe, meaning I was able to see first-hand how European political and
legislative procedures work." Sam G. (United Kingdom)
"The experiences and interactions I’ve had at WYA have changed me. Not only
because I’ve met and come to understand people from many different backgrounds, not
only because of all WYA has taught me, not even because I’ve grown so much in
understanding solidarity and what it means to give of one's self, but most of all because
of the eye-opening reality that I need to share the truths about human dignity wherever I
go." Alex (Honduras)

WORLD YOUTH ALLIANCE CHARTER The World Youth Alliance is composed of young women and men from every part of the world. In cooperation with other organs of the international community, primarily the United Nations and the European Union, the World Youth Alliance is committed to building free and just societies through a culture of life. That culture affirms the inalienable dignity of the person, defends the intrinsic right to life, nurtures the family, and fosters a social climate favorable to integral development, solidarity, and mutual respect.
We recognize that the intrinsic dignity of the person is the foundation of every human right. We believe this dignity is independent of any individual condition and that no human community can grant or rescind that dignity. We are convinced that the intrinsic dignity possessed by every human being from conception to natural death is the foundation of everyone’s right to life. We believe that this inalienable right to life is the basis of a free and just society and we believe that society through law and culture has an obligation to protect the dignity of the person and thus protect the right to life. We affirm that the fundamental unit of human society is the family, where women and men learn to live in genuine freedom and solidarity, and where individuals are equipped to fulfill their social obligations. We believe that the political community at the local, national and international level is obliged to protect and nurture the family. We believe that the authentic development of society can occur only in a culture that fosters integral human development – characterized by physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional growth, in a climate of respect for the human person and the family. We invite all those who share these convictions to join us in affirming them and give them effect in public life at all levels. I hereby certify that the above information is correct. Name Signature Date ____Yes, I have read and agreed to the World Youth Alliance Charter.
