Week 3
8. What are some peaceful and innovative ways of highlighting the
importance of this issue at the conference? Keep in mind that there is a limit on the budget for materials and
events.
I suggest that we could use the multimedia gadgets to raise visibility at the conference. Examples could be to advocate to the telecom companies to get a tool free line where young people would text in their views and opinions about the conference and issues affecting them, an e-billboard can carry this messages and it should be staged at strategic positions at the conference venue e.g. entry and exist points, conference halls and youth pavilion.
This service could also serve as a feedback mechanism so other young people who are not at the conference could contribute to the conference, the adverts could be placed on MTV base and terrestrial TV.
9. Imagine that you are at the conference. What kind of tools, actions
or events do you think would serve the purpose of visibility around the
advocacy message? (e.g. t-shirts, rallies, pins, posters, stickers,
etc)
I think the use of e-billboards fro highlighting these issues would be best, while the use of T-shirts and other conventional means could still be explored.
If its feasible too, I would suggest that the Adult-commitment desk be turned into a full conference session and should be added to in the main conference, such that different people from governments, UN agencies, scientists are given the opportunity at least 10mins each to make at least two commitments to young people, this way they would be more committed, because most government officials would refuse going to the commitments desk but when it is streamlined into the main session they have nor choice than to comply.
10. When advocating using this message at the conference, what could
You suggest to your decision-makers as practical and realistic next steps they can take to implement your ideas?
First, hat there should be enrolled about the youth mainstreaming concept, because lots of them in my country are not. Then I would suggest that they should build trust on young people and allow young peoples opinions to be listened to, respected and incorporated in any project/programmmes so such programmmes could gain youth ownership and eventuality become successful.
