In 20th September 2008, “What’s up Youth” came to the world as a non for profit network for young people, which communicates through its portal http://www.wupy.org offering a maximum of information active youth may need to exceed, develop their capacities, and help their communities. Thus, WupY gives a variety of free and practical services in one click for youth all around the world.

WupY is an initiative started by young & talented youth who noticed through their work in the civil society that there are a lot of offered programs and opportunities for youngsters but it doesn’t reach the mass of young activists. Therefore, WupY presented itself as a bridge between active and curious youth and the information they may need to develop their capacities and fulfill their dreams

AGORA Arts & Culture, Ancient Greeks followed the human scale in building their Cities; their cities were consistent with the size and proportions of the human being, which is one of the significant factors of the Greek culture and civilization. The lack of landscape planning in the ancient Greek cities meant defense against the enemy. Aristotle encouraged planning a part of the city and leaving the other part randomly planned to meet art and beauty with security and safety.

For this reason, and for the reason that the AGORA of Alexandria played a core role in shaping the current identity of the City, I chose the title AGORA Arts and Culture for an organization with the endeavor of reviving the concept of the real Agora as a gathering place and a venue for “Self-expression” through Arts Practice.
