Fiji National University (FNU) hosted the 2019 Fiji Youth Speak Forum with the theme “Decent Work and Economic Growth” to actively engage, and inspire youth in Fiji on the importance of entrepreneurship.
The Youth Forum is an event organised by the Association Internationale des Étudiants en Sciences Économiques et Commerciales (AIESEC), the world’s largest youth-run organisation.
It is an international non-governmental and not-for-profit organisation that provides young people with leadership development, cross-cultural global internships, and volunteer exchange experiences across the globe.
