INTERNATIONAL YOUTH FORUM SELIGER
23-30 July 2014
Social conflicts and political upheavals, environmental catastrophes and natural disasters, human rights violations and terrorism all show that our era of globalization is far from being one solely of prosperity or wealth.
Young people are most at risk, but also the most active in their communities. International Youth Forum Seliger 2013 can help unite active young people from all over the world, regardless of their social status, ethnic background, political views and religion.
The main goal of the Forum is to build an international community of young people based on the principles of peaceful coexistence, the promotion of personal and democratic liberties and recognition of cultural diversity.
To achieve this goal the organizers have set a number of objectives, including:
- empower global youth, by giving them a greater say in the globalizing world
- encourage young people to find solutions to global challenges: poverty, social conflict, environmental degradation
- foster cooperation among young people in social, political and economic life
- give participants real opportunities to put their leadership skills into practice
- help and support young people in team building and fundraising
- examine the main trends and tendencies in global business, science, culture, mass media, NGO communities
- offer young people the chance to meet and interact with highly qualified specialists ready to support them in turning their project ideas into reality
- help them embrace diversity in delivering practical projects
We believe in fostering an active social position among young people worldwide. Putting these objectives into practice will help strengthen social consciousness among young people internationally and also attain the Forum’s main goal.
Who we need: 1,000 young leaders from different backgrounds, students/graduates from universities worldwide, and young professionals who are highly motivated to effect global change (NOTE: age restrictions apply: 18 – 30 years). Experience in social program implementation or politics is required (e.g. managing or founding not-for-profit organizations, being involved in social projects, or student union/local authority experience). We welcome young talented and creative individuals full of new ideas who are ready to work collaboratively for collective, international, benefit.

This sounds cool, but what I don't get is where do they mention the price of attending or cost related issues :)
