During the 3-day forum in Beijing, young representatives will visit a sharing economy enterprise, experience Chinese culture and visit a number of historical and modern sites in Beijing.

Evgenia Drozhaschikh, a delegate from Russia says the BRICS youth forum is special as it is "about the youth dimension and it allows me to be a part of the public diplomacy community representing The Russian Federation".

To think in a creative way, to grab more opportunities and to treasure the chance for communication, representatives are encouraged by the stories they share and are willing to develop not only BRICS but also the world into a better place with more fairness and less misunderstanding.
