Have you ever wondered what happens to your simulated resolutions?
Ever thought you could be doing something concrete?
Interested in attending real international UN or affiliated conferences?
Then the THIMUN Youth Assembly is just for you!
The THIMUN Youth Assembly (TYA) is a forum for young people aged 16 to 25 from all around the world. Organised by the THIMUN Youth Network (TYN), this conference allows young people to discuss world problems and decide on innovative solutions as an international youth 'think-tank'.
This year there are eight committees that focus on a specific issue for 5 days - a detailed list of the committees and conference logistics is available at the website: http://www.youthassembly.org.
However, the work does not only take place in January; instead, you get to meet your committee and your two coordinators online beforehand, and actually discuss, cooperate, and prepare in great detail for the conference. Online forums, mailing groups, and personal contact information are all at your disposal so as to make the absolute best of your time once you meet for a very productive week in The Netherlands.
The results of each committee are extremely concrete. Some committees prepare participants for real UN or affiliated Conferences (we recently sent groups to the World Water Forum in Mexico City, as well as the 2006 HIV/AIDS Conference in Toronto). Other committees prepare
or further develop active campaigns that directly seek to combat the issue in question (for example the committee on Millennium Development Goals).
There is a committee or an issue that appeals to everyone - be your interest history, international relations, communication, even statistics.
It is difficult to squeeze a very broad and intricate conference into a few lines, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact gurel.g@youthassembly.org for further inquiries. This includes requests for an extension of the deadline, which is presently November 2nd.
Looking forward to working with you this January!
