The Quebec-Wallonia-Brussels Agency for Youth (in French, "agence Québec Wallonie Bruxelles pour la jeunesse") (AQWBJ) is a semi-public international relations body that offers young people from Quebec, aged 18 to 30 years, the opportunity to gain experience in other countries through various programs involving missions and training courses in Wallonia and Brussels.
The AQWBJ has collaborated with the Parlement Jeunesse du Québec.
Famous quotes containing the words agency and/or youth:
“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
