Some of them include human rights, weapons of mass destruction , free trade ... whoa these things do interest me... (Am wondering what am I doing in the engineering stream... LOL )
Well for all the readers of my blog... heres a small media release by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council (the people who are behind the GYLC )
YOUNG SCHOLARS JOIN INTERNATIONAL GATHERING OFLEADERS
Global Young Leaders Conference Tackles International Concerns
WASHINGTON, D.C. - This summer, outstanding high school scholars from around the world will participate in the Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC), a unique leadership development Conference that takes place in Washington, DC and New York and in Vienna, Budapest and Prague. The theme of GYLC is The Leaders of Tomorrow Preparing for the Global Challenges and responsibilities of the Future. Students will interact with key leaders and newsmakers with powerful influence over politics, finance, culture and diplomacy, and will take part in a carefully designed curriculum, which includes thought-provoking simulations that build leadership skills.
"The Global Young Leaders Conference aims to provide scholars with the opportunity to collaborate with their peers from around the world to both study and resolve global conflict," said Mike Lasday, executive director of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council (CYLC), the organization that sponsors GYLC. "When ideas and points of view are shared, the true results of the Conference are realized."
GYLC culminates with the Global Summit, in which students apply what they've learned throughout the Conference as they debate, negotiate and build coalitions dealing with issues such as foreign aid, global warming, co-operative efforts in space, terrorism and human rights. Past highlights of the program include welcoming remarks from a variety of young leaders who make and leave their mark on the international community, a briefing at the U.S. Department of State, an address at the United Nations and site visits at financial institutions on Wall Street, among several other events.
Hope you find this interesting.
Cheers
