Young people make tomorrow their business.LAST JUNE'S Youth Forum on Ethical Leadership saw more than 40 students from across the UK and beyond gather together at the University of London For most practical purposes, ranging from admission of students to negotiating funding from the government, the 19 constituent colleges are treated as individual universities.

The event was coordinated by AIESEC AIESEC Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales (International Association of Students in Economics and Business Management) , a non-profit organization A non-profit organization (abbreviated "NPO", also "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is a legally constituted organization whose primary objective is to support or to actively engage in activities of public or private interest without any commercial or monetary profit purposes. that aims to help young people develop into responsible and socially conscious business leaders through arranging international internships and exchange programmes.

The conference is the first of its kind for a number of years but organizers Lynsey Abernethy and Paul Vivash hope it will become an annual event.

With the latter initiative now running well Abernethy and Vivash saw the opportunity to expand AIESEC's activity in the UK and make the delegates 'aware of some of the broader issues of business', says Vivash.
