UN Youth's latest event in 2015.
UN Youth Australia is a national youth-led charity that aims to build the people’s movement for the United Nations through the education and empowerment of young Australians.
As a international student who has already been involved in Model United Nation in China, I am very excited to find such wonderful organisation to participate in.
In its home page, I learnt that "UN Youth Australia runs a large range of national and local programs designed to provide this empowerment through education, with a focus on students aged 15 to 19. Within Australia, we organise a National Youth Conference, Evatt (a national Model UN competition), Perspective (a youth journal of international affairs), and a wide variety of state and territory events. Internationally, we coordinate educational tours of Europe, East Timor, and New Zealand for secondary school students and a tour of the USA for tertiary students." And this is run entirely by the volunteers under 25 years old from across Australia. They act on the basis of goodwill, giving shape and hope to their future. They also has a large community support organised by UN Youth Australia Foundation.
Having been participated in the Harvard University's Model United Nation conference in Beijing, I have developed a great interest about the global issue while sharing ideas with intelligent people in WHO (World Health Organisation). We formed several blogs and wrote draft resolutions together while raising our placards to vote. We all enjoyed the process in that three day conference. Thus, I joined in the United Nation Youth of South Australia to share my ideas and gain experiences on global issues. I am feeling a large step closer to The United Nation now!
Last week, I've received an E-mail from the UN Youth Group, informing us that they are now organising a trip to Middle-East in 2015. After seeing their promotion trailer, I was very excited and ready to sign up. However, in the bottom of the program, the indicated that only Australian passport holders will be allow to participate. As an international student, I felt helpless and powerless when facing the visa issue.
