#Dec4Change - youth pre-conference AIDS2012
Mikaela Hildebrand
Hi everyone - I hope you are all doing great! I will not be at this years conference as I am on maternity leave (!), but am still doing a bit of mobilization from sunny Geneva.
As we know that there are many young amazing activists in the AIDS response out there who wanted to take part in AIDS 2012 were not able to attend – for various reasons. So CrowdOutAIDS/UNAIDS teamed up with the DC Youth Force to enable young people form around the world to STILL have their say in what comes out of the youth pre-conference at AIDS 2012.
We put together an online collaboration project urging young people from around the world to add their ideas for how this new generation of activists will work together to reach the 2015 goals of the Political Declaration on AIDS adopted at the HLM in 2011.
The Declaration for Change: How young people will achieve an AIDS-free generation will be presented at the on the Opening Session of the AIDS2012 Global Village on the 23rd of July, 2012, by the the DC Youth Force.
So please join up and share this project now :) http://app.codigital.com/p/youthaids2012! You can also join the conversation on twitter with #Dec4Change. The project runs from the 18-20th of July.
Thanks - and have a GREAT conference y'all!
