Dear Yavnika,

Applications for 2nd South Asian Youth Conference are open. Please
apply and spread the word.

Background:

South Asian Youth Conference was born when a group of South Asian
youth came together at the 5th World Youth Congress in Turkey. They
felt the deep connection of shared culture and history between them.
But they also found several unresolved issues, incomplete
conversations and possibilities of partnership.

Hence, the need for a space where young leaders converge, discuss and
collaborate led to Blue Ribbon Movement organizing the 1st conference
in Bangalore. It was a success on many fronts – it managed to get
every country in the SAARC region represented. It gave birth to
several projects including the South Asian Good News channel and the
Mangalore Youth Leadership Conclave. Our Action Based Change
Declaration was well received across the globe and finally presented
to the UN in New York. It became synonymous with the theme of Peace.

But our biggest victory was personal bonds and friendships. We aim to
bring peace and co-operation in the region through ‘deep ties’ –
genuine friendships between leaders who are making a difference across
borders.

This year, the conference moves from its country of origin to
Pakistan. JDO being the National Lead Organizer along with its
Partners will take the conference to the next level. And as you read
this, we working very hard to create a memorable and historically
significant conference!

There are several organizations working at the South Asian level in
different areas – we believe its time to start aligning their efforts
and move towards the principle ‘Together We are Stronger!’.

Hence, this SAYC 2012 will witness the birth of the South Asian Youth
Coalition – a group of youth organizations committed to building a
stronger region. The SAYC thus becomes a focal point for these highly
influential change makers to connect, collaborate and build
connections.

Every bit of help for SAYC is a step towards a peaceful region – we
are sure you will do your bit.

Welcome to SAYC 2!
