The United Nations Department of Public Information (UNDPI) is organizing the second annual Global Model UN conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 26-30 July 2010 (including two days of pre-conference activities - date and time to be confirmed), for university-level students. The conference theme will be "Towards an Alliance of Civilizations - Bridging Cultures to achieve Peace and Development." The World Youth Congress series was born in 1997 following the frustrations of the Rio +5 meeting where Governments and organisations met to discuss what progress had been made since the original Rio Earth Summit. Conceived as a kind of Young People’s Earth Summit, it became, instead, a process of identifying priorities for the new Millennium. Each Congress is unique: hosts are encouraged to stamp the identity and culture of their country on their congress and make it their own. Each also has several other features that distinguish the World Youth Congress Series from other International Youth Gatherings: 1. A strong cultural programme, instructive, often youth-led workshops, debates, an Educators programme, a Young Journalists programme and inter-action between development professionals and youth activists characterize the content of each congress. The Congress is Youth-owned; 2. A key part of every congress is Local Action Projects – where all delegates travel away from the Congress site and work with local people to build up facilities, do an environmental clean-up or assist in some social programme. 3. The emphasis on Action continues in the interval between each congress with a series of Action Projects proposed by delegates being funded to exemplify good practice learned at the Congress workshops and seminars. 4. But the real impact of the congress comes from the informal discussions of the young activists who share experiences and stories and inspire their peers to get started or keep going to address the urgent needs of their community and the world.
A youth-organized, youth-led event, the World Youth Congress brings together youth activists, media professionals, entrepreneurs, artists and educators in a 10-day programme of lectures, workshops and cultural events. The young participants will discuss policy issues, share their experiences with development professionals from government, the UN and think tanks and take part in an exhibition of the latest achievements in Youth-led Development.
