International Youth Leadership Conference has established a new partnership with European University College Association, which represents 192 colleges in Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK. We are honoured to welcome EUCA and its members in our affiliate network and recognise their commitment to youth leadership education by offering 10% discount to EUCA students.

Born the 6th June 2008, EUCA is a non profit organisation, which represent 192 colleges and more then 53 thousand students in 4 different countries: Italy (Italian conference of the university colleges), Poland (Polish Warsaw University of technology), Spain (Spanish Council of the Superior Colleges) and England (the Netherhall Educational Association). The university colleges are educational centres, which maintain a close relationship with the academic world. They not only offer high quality services but they help students to obtain the better results from their university studies through various complementary and supplementary activities such as the participation to courses, seminaries, conferences; the opportunity to live in a community; to do sport and to confront with other young people from different cities and cultures. The aims of EUCA are:

• Fostering the modernisation of the EU university systems following the scope of the ‘Process of Bologna’
• Creating an international university college network to promote cultural exchange between European students
• Encouraging the active citizenship of youth in a multicultural context
• Increasing the dialogue between the university colleges and promoting the collegial model in cooperation with the European Union:
• Promote the college’s image among the institutions and increase the connections   between colleges and universities
• Fostering social promotion based on merit and preparing the students for the job market
• Realizing international projects for the modernisation of the European education system
• Organizing congresses and events for universities, academicians and professionals on European relevant themes

Garikai Matambo (South Africa) has highlighted the Closing Ceremonies of the 20th IYLC with a passionate song, inspired by friendships and bonds he has built during this week in Prague. Below are the lyrics to this amazing song.

This Is Not The End

I
This song is hard to sing
because good-byes are hard to say
But I know this time it's not the end
We shall meet again some day.

II
The song I sing today will bring back
all the friends
And the melodies keep echoing
We shall meet again some day.

Chorus
So, let the light of your bye shine
For all the world to see
May your joy and laughter become a part of me
And because I have known you
My life will never be quite the same
May your spirit live in me
