Commissions

The working commissions are diverse groups made up of WLCU Youth members from different countries, focused on addressing particular topics for the benefit of Lebanon and its diaspora.

The Cultural Affairs Commission plans and evaluates cultural and educational initiatives related but not limited to arts, dance, film, gastronomy, history, language, literature, and music, and put them into action.

The Social Welfare Commission focuses on celebrating and strengthening the extensive network of Lebanese youth around the world, working to bring social initiatives into the community, while expanding appreciation for creative activity and community building through the promotion of voluntarism, empowerment, and unity within Lebanon and the Lebanese diaspora communities.

The Media & Communications Commission coordinates all WLCUY publications and news for the official website and social media profiles, as well as with news outlets in Lebanon.

The Women’s “SHEis” Commission is an all-women team focused on raising awareness against gender bias, celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, and taking action towards accelerating gender parity by promoting women empowerment in Lebanon, the Lebanese diaspora communities and the WLCU.

And lastly the NGO Commission actively engages in youth-led UN activities to consolidate the organization’s affiliation to the DGC-UN and accreditation at ECOSOC. Initiatives include informative publications and campaigns, collaborations with NGOs located in Lebanon and abroad, and participation at DGC Civil Society Unit programs, ECOSOC Youth Forums, and UNDP Youth Initiatives.
