NYC Coordinates World Youth Peace Summit

In the absence of an official national coordinator for the World Youth Peace Summit, the National Youth Commission was requested by the organizers to disseminate information for possible Philippine representatives. The Summit will be held on October 23 to 28, 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Representatives from the youth sector and other youth serving institutions whose activities are inclined towards peace and youth development from around the world will be present during this activity.

The Summit is open to all interested youth participants from 15 to 35 years old, who are recognized as leaders in their field of work or area of interest.

There are no registration fees, and the organizers will shoulder all food costs during the Summit. Delegates will have to pay for travel costs and accommodations, however, various degrees of financial sponsorship will be provided for invited delegates who cannot otherwise afford to attend.

Entry forms may be requested through e-mail at [email protected] or may be downloaded at the World Youth Peace Summit website, www.wyps.org. Other information about the WYPS is also available through the website.

Deadline of application will be on August 15, 2004. Interested applicants may submit their forms through e-mail at [email protected].
