The Youth Forum is a meeting space for reflection and participation that OMAEC is promoting so that young alumni of Catholic Education can share their concerns, experiences and creativity to support a fairer world, with greater solidarity.
Since 2021, Marco Russo (Italy), Santiago Durini (Argentina) and recently Mariano Olivera (Argentina) have collaborated as directors of the Secretariat of the Youth Forum.
According to Article 16 of the OMAEC By Laws, the youth representative is a full member of the Executive Council, with voice and vote.
