Youth Assembly at the United Nations
The Youth Assembly at the United Nations is a gathering of hundreds of young people from all around the world (18-26 years old) who seek future involvement with the United Nations, civil society, and ways to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The conference takes place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, August 12-14, 2008.

Delegates are encouraged to take part in the Leadership Seminar which precedes the assembly: August 6-10, 2008. In the course of the four-day retreat, participants create a working action plan for meeting an existing challenge in their home communities.

This blog serves to facilitate the leadership seminar participants to share their project ideas and to get to “know” each other in advance. We will also post here news about the Youth Assembly, so keep checking back regularly!

If you are a confirmed Leadership Seminar participant, you can join the blog by becoming first member on http://www.takingitglobal.org, than checking back to the blog.
