Hubs are offsite locations designed to feed localized input into the discussions at the BYND2015 Summit. Literally speaking, a hub is just a physical space that can be used to bring people and ideas together around a common cause. Hubs should ideally provide a co-creative environment and provide a good network connection for link-up with Costa Rica.
Learn more about the roles of the hubs here.

We, as the Brazilian Youth Coalition for the Post-2015, are involved with as many processes of the post-2015 development agenda as we can, by doing this we may facilitate the participation of young people from Brazil into the debates of the new Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. With the BYND2015 we hope that we can also help those without access to the internet to also collaborate with the solutions that we need for the pos-2015
