In January 2008, British Council is hosting a conference for young people in Greenwich prior to the Word Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland (23 – 27 January).
60 young people, 16-19 years old, from 50 countries will gather in Greenwich to lay down challenges for the worlds’ leaders and take those challenges to Davos. Each one of them has decided that they cannot wait for the world’s leaders to solve the world’s problems. They are taking command of the future.

This is a time for committed action. This is a time for naming and being counted.

Are you able to stand up in front of the world’s leaders and tell them what you will hold them accountable to?

Each one of them has decided that they cannot wait for the world’s leaders to solve the world’s problems. They are taking command of the future.

This is a time for committed action. This is a time for naming and being counted.

Are you able to stand up in front of the world’s leaders and tell them what you will hold them accountable to?

If you are aged between 16-19, are assertive and articulate in English, and are not just committed to change but actively taking responsibility personally and not waiting for others to do something for you, you could be the one we send to Greenwich.

You may be working in a range of areas: in climate change, in anti-discrimination, you could be starting your own business, starting and leading a political or lobbying group, running your own media (online or traditional), an arts group for a minority section of the population, or others.

To take that first step towards Davos, complete the application form and email it to greenwich.forum@britishcouncil.org.my by 24 October 2007.

Applicants should meet the criteria above and be a Malaysian citizen to be eligible.

Shortlisted candidates will be called in to the British Council office in Kuala Lumpur for a 20 minute interview on 29 October 2007.

For further information, send them an email.
