Building a forum for the youth voice
GYAN seeks to recruit partner
organizations for this project. Partner organizations undertake
publicity in their countries and are responsible for recruiting
25 articles for submission. The partner organization's name and
brief mission statement will be spotlighted in the final publication
under "partnerships," and its name will appear on GYAN
promotional materials. If interested, contact france@youthlink.org.

This project will bring together articles with a variety
of opinions from all regions of the world into one publication. It will
be published with one of our
partners that will oversee distribution of the book
throughout the world, as part of GYAN’s world-wide Youth Participation
Initiative.
Submission of a full range of ideas is encouraged, from articles questioning
the legitimacy of global institutions to articles portraying globalization
as a positive force for wealth creation and peace.
Articles may deal with, but are not limited to:
The impact of free trade on wealth creation and the
environment; the role of capitalism and liberalization on development;
human rights and globalization; sustainable development; debt in the developing
world and in least developed countries; democracy and good governance,
women and wealth creation, or reform of the United Nations System.
- Articles should be sent to publication@youthlink.org
before the deadline of December 15, 2004.
- Applicants should be from eighteen to thirty
years old. They should be under the age of 31 by December 31,
2004
- Articles are to be no longer than 2,500 words
(approximately four single spaced typed pages).

translation. Non-native English speakers can submit articles in
their mother tongue in addition to the English translation.
