Today CC Approval Committee had its July meeting and accepted four applicants as URI Cooperation Circles.
These new CCs belong to three different regions: North America (1), Europe (1) and South East Asia and the Pacific (2).
Beside the name of the CC you will find the dream they come with. You might notice that, though these groups develop their work in different parts of the world and in different environments (the members of the youth CC in Philippines are 13 years old upwards), their dream is very similar and of course very much aligned with URI Purpose.
