Have you ever felt that there was just too much information
to sift through before you began to "take part in global affairs"?

Have you ever felt that you really wanted to know more
about global affairs, but just didn't know where to start?

Have you ever felt intimidated at conferences because
you just didn't know as much as the next person?

This year's GES2007 is designed
just for people like you.

If you're a student, you're eligible to participate in this year's seminar, which will introduce the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals to you.

We know how hard it is to be a student of today, and we want to help make it a little easier.

Best of all, it's free. Register today!

[9 Oct 07 update: GES2007 is now open to ALL students, although secondary school students are highly encouraged to apply.]

[THE OFFICIAL-SOUNDING STUFF]

The United Nations Youth Association of Singapore (UNYAS), in collaboration with the University Scholar’s Programme (NUS), will be hosting the inaugural Global Education Seminar on the 27th of October 2007. This is a seminar series aimed at introducing global affairs to Secondary-level students under the age of 21 ALL STUDENTS. Secondary school, ITE, Polytechnic and JC students are particularly encouraged to apply.

The topic for this year’s seminar is the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The one-day seminar will involve an introduction to global affairs and a panel forum session on the MDGs in the morning, after which we break for lunch. After lunch, concurrent workshop sessions will be run on the MDGs. Participants will attend two sessions of their choice. The seminar will officially end at 7.30pm.

We would like to invite interested youth to register for GES2007. With groups such as ONE Singapore, the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE), Action for Aids (AfA), the Singapore Environment Council (SEC), Global Campaign for Education, as well as the SingHealth Foundation facilitating the break-out sessions, this year’s GES2007 looks set to be an exciting time of global affairs discussion!
