Youth Commission

Are you interested in climbing and other mountain activities? Do you want to meet young people from other countries? Do you want to improve your mountaineering skills? We organise events for you in mountains all over the world including youth camps, expeditions, festivals and hiking, skiing and rafting.

A key component is the coordination of Member Federation events held under the name, Global Youth Summit.

The UIAA also assists and advises event organisers and provides valuable resource material.

Global Youth Summit

The Global Youth Summit is the name for UIAA youth events which promote peace and cooperation between countries and protection of the environment. Read about the exciting 2010, 2011, 2012 activities and learn about the 2013 schedule of events.

Help for event organisers
