Starting November 4th until the 6th, a professional forum concerning Better Practices in Youth Policies and Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean will take place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The event combines a selection of programs and policies chosen by experts and an evaluation committee; the chosen programs have proven to have successfully impacted the young community and have been able to replicate these policies.

Through the NexLinks program, the Young Americas Business Trust has been an associate of this project from the beginning of the program; due to their similarity in goals. This program concentrates on youth development, poverty and unemployment through entrepreneurship.

These practices count with the combination of more than fifteen international organizations that work for the development and success of this program; involving hundred of projects from the private, public and civil sector of Latin America.
