Rhodes Youth Forum 2012

Deadline: August 1, 2012


From September 28^th to October 1^st, 2012 the Rhodes Island will host the Youth Forum for the third time. More than 100 young people interested in active participation in public life, concerned about the current challenges to humanity, tended to fulfillment by implementing social projects and their personal intellectual efforts.

Holding this event we, all the participants of the International Youth Time Movement, want to focus your attention on the problems which are threatening to prosperity of the present civilization and to the coming generations. They are:

1. Education. Educational system requires new approaches able to preserve and multiply human capital which is one of the key resources for development of the present and future society.
2. Employment barriers. It is necessary to elaborate mechanisms for the effective integration of the youth into the labour market. We are seeking ways for full integration of the young people in life and the most important international projects.
3. Loss of traditional values, especially the family ones, together with spirituality and heritage of the past generations.
4. Obstacles which youth faces on their way to active participation in public life. We need effective mechanisms of youth participation. Young people need to assume responsibility for their future, for their parents, friends, intimate community, country and civilization. Obstacles on the way of youth formation as self-sufficient and independent social force are preventing from successful social development.
5. Obstacle in the intercultural communication. Developed infrastructure and communication technologies have made this world small. We are standing on the stage of global thinking formation and new type intellect, which is not limited by the stereotypes of the country or culture.
6. Hurdles in the intertemporal interaction and dealing with future. Modern fast changing world with its complexity requires new approaches in dealing with future. Taking actions today we should realize how it corresponds to what will happen in 5, 10 or 20 years. This is the way to develop modern and competitive thinking.

International Youth Time Movement unites young leaders tended to proactive behavior (not just in word but in deed). Therefore development and presentation of the project is the key condition for participation. Young leaders will get the opportunity for support from the Rhodes Youth Forum partners. Youth Time Intellectual Сlub will provide most viable projects with professional and expert consulting.

Fields of projects:

1. Infrastructure (as formation of new possibilities and improving quality of life)
2. Intercultural social projects
3. Education, social, volunteering initiatives
4. Media projects
