The Young Advocates who participated in the 2008 Youth Forum participated in workshops that enhanced their confidence, leadership and communication skills through sport, the arts and culture. Without the fundamental elements of sport, art and culture, the Paralympic Games would not be the spectacle that it is. | | |

A lot of people had a lot to say about the Youth Forum in Beijing. Below are some quotes that some up some of the Young Advocates' experiences:
"The YAP programme really brings home the message that it is society that creates disability, and that we, as individuals are in a position to change that" - Marie Nichols (Young Advocate)
"The best thing about YAP is that it is a forum which has allowed people to better understand, play with, and challenge their conceptions and disability, teamwork and self-identity" - Simone Milani (Group Leader)
"This is a first, and the International Paralympic Committee heartily congratulates the British Council. The YAP has taken initiative to promote intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and development of civil society" - Ann Cody (Member of the Governing Board of the IPC and Chairperson of the IPC Women in Sport Committee)
