My experience in the 4th Annual Youth summit:

 

The 4th  Annual Youth Summit was held this year at the China Hall of Science & technology, Beijing, China. Simultaneously, was also held the  7th Annual IEARN International Conference at the same venue.

As this was my first conference, I earned a very good experience and came to know about what an International conference is. The IEARN or the International Education and Resource Network mainly aims at creating a global community through the media of internet, which would greatly help unite different nationalities and solving world disputes.

 

In this years conference there were more than 600 delegates from over 68 countries who  participated in this mega event. Practically the youth summit that were being held everyday during the week starting from 10th July, 2000 were one of the biggest youth gatherings ever to be hosted during the entire history of the planet.

 

The main objectives of the 4th Annual Summit was to fulfill  the dreams of the legendary Albert Enstein. Before he died Dr.Albert Einstein had suggested to the world that  to solve all the existing problems all around the world,  there should be  (1) a global youth parliament and (2) global spirituality. And it is here where IEARN comes to play a major role.  This organization mainly helps in providing the youth all around the globe with a stable platform where they can exchange their views and innovative ideas with people of different nationalities.

 

The IEARN has under its purview an enormous number of projects that are based on environment, social issues, cultural diversity, knowledge and so on. During the entire youth summit, this year there had been very intense discussions on some of the most hot topics of the world today. Some of them were related to child labour, child prostitution, wars, international disputes, nuclear non-proliferation and pollution.

 

During this summit what I have learnt is that we should try to integrate this kinds of activities into out school curriculum as this would help in giving the students a very good International exposure at a young age. This has especially become very inevitable as the world is fast advancing in todays internet age. But yes, until and unless the awareness of this incredibly wonderful organization, IEARN is spread in the remote areas of the poor and developing nations it has a huge milestone ahead of it.

 

The stimulating experience in the IEARN youth summit has prompted me to undertake  an useful  project on  environment.  My project  tiltle  is,  Pollution: A Menace Posed  by Mankind
