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)
“Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life’s lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
