While this is no UN event, you guys should check out the following site: YC3. This conference is run by youth for youth and will be a chance for youth concerned about climate change to get together and generate action! There will be plenty of large group sessions, but also smaller workshops that will give participants the chance to come up with action plans for climate change awareness campaigns/events/etc in their communities. Notably, David Anderson (past minister of the Environment) and Elizabeth May (Executive Director of the Sierra Club of Canada) will be speaking and/or running workshops at the conference!
So while this conference will happen in British Columbia, in one building, this July – where everyone will be close enough to touc – there is still a huge amount of technology and computers being used in the logistics. For instance, the steering team is made up of members from many different locations in Canada – they have never all met or even talked on the phone… all steering committee meetings thus far have taken place with the help of MSN netmeeting! Email is very useful as well and the beautiful website is helping to attract delegates from different parts of the country and even different parts of the world! Go computers!
Check the site out! Maybe you or someone you know would want to participate!
