UNCON, USA, and National Youth Council, Nepal, (NYC) collectively organized a webinar between Youth of Nepali origin living in DFW (USA) and youths of Nepal on August 10, 2016 from 8:15 pm to 9:45 pm (Dallas time). UNCON had partnered with Dallas Everest Lions Club (DELC) and NRN Texas Chapter to successfully organize this webinar.

A total of 33 people (youths and parents) attended the webinar from UNCON side and about 25 youths and officers participated the webinar from NYC side. Agni Sanjel and his family of UNCON, who were visiting Nepal, also participated the conference as guest from NYC Nepal side.

Prior to opening the discussions session of the youth participants, UNCON Vice President (Outreach) Batuk Bista and NYC President Saroj Baniya briefly summarized the objectives of the webinar.
The one and half hour long webinar was ended with the following activities and recommendations:
- Discussed three potential areas of youth involvement by both teams: Education, Health, and Community Service.
- Upon careful analysis and discussions, youths of both sides ended up with a recommendation of an education related project for year 2017.
- The combined youth team will prepare a detail project plan on the selected area (education related project) and submit to UNCON and NYC.
- UNCON Youth will raise funds and contribute $1,000 to this project. Nepal based counterpart will approach other organizations in Nepal such as Banks, Clubs, publishing houses, Government entities, etc. offering to be a part or stakeholders of this project.
