The Global Development Village (GDV) is an interactive space within the Jamboree designed to raise awareness about global issues, educate and build capacities among young people, and create a strong commitment for Creating a Better World.
In the Global Development Village, National and International Organizations from all sectors and experts working on the main challenges the world faces today, will have an opportunity to engage leaders through innovative workshops and exciting educational activities. More than 30 000 young Scouts, adults and visitors from all over the world will have a unique opportunity to learn directly from world class specialists how their local actions have global impact, and how they can make a difference in their communities. Moreover, the awareness raised among participants replicates to our more than 38 million members in 160 countries as they go back to tell their stories and begin projects and partnerships with their local scout groups and other organizations.
