IYC successfully held its first planning committee meeting for the 2010 Youth Assembly at the UN. Ten directors and over 30 additional members from around the world participated via Skype. We discussed the development of a fundraising guide, established strategy groups, and formulated the evolving schedule for the Youth Assembly as we get closer to August 4th.
As of right now, IYC will be running 90 minute workshops on the first day (August 4th), which will be followed by a discussion of the MDGs and youth leadership lead by US and Chinese ambassadors. At night, there will be a MDG campaign forum and dinner where NGOs and IYC members can showcase their projects and plant seeds for collaboration. The food will be good, we promise!!!
On the second day (August 5th), there will be a breakfast networking session. IYC will then run another series of 90 minute workshops. There will be announcements in the near future about activities following these workshops, including the possibility of a NGO job fair, IYC networking events, and an event on universities and the MDGs.
On the last day (August 6th), there will be a breakfast networking session followed by a range of IYC forums on internally coordinated project outreach and next steps following the Youth Assembly.
