Climate change is a global challenge that concerns young people as much as it concerns the older generation. Climate change already has an impact on the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, destroying livelihoods, exacerbating conflict and claiming lives.

Nowadays, we can no longer solve the climate challenge separately from each other, be it across nations, across religions, across sectors or across generations.

It is of the utmost  importance that we as the young generation have a real say in the climate debate and take action!

From 28 June – 1 July 2010, the Global Humanitarian Forum’s Youth Forum will host its second annual event. Youth Forum 2010 – Young Adults 4 New Results, entitled “Generations taking on the Climate Challenge”, will take place in Geneva, Switzerland.

Of course, as the second edition of the GHF’s Youth Forum centerpiece event, Youth Forum 2010 is going to be bigger, better, funnier, louder and crazier than last year!

Youth Forum 2010 will be held simultaneously and interlinked with the GHF’s high-level centerpiece event, the 2010 Forum. Consequently, attendees of Youth Forum 2010 will engage in dialogue and interact with GHF’s high-level participants.

During the four days of Youth Forum 2010, you will have a chance to:

Share your expertise, experience and knowledge with interesting young adults from all over the world
Engage in true intergenerational dialogue with high-level personalities from across global society
Participate in discussion rounds, plenary debates, workshops and brainstorming sessions
Listen to leading young guest speakers from various sectors
Develop new and action-oriented initiatives with the help of a high-tech idea development tool
Enjoy Geneva and its environment through our various social activities… and legendary parties!

We are looking for young people from many different backgrounds! It does not matter if you are a scientist, a musician, a politician or a cook, a young professional or a student. If you are interested in the overarching topic of the event, then we are looking for you!

150 committed and active international young adults between the ages of 18-30 will be selected as participants through an entry-competition that opened on 1 February 2010. The deadline to submit your application is 1 March 2010.

Stay tuned and receive updates about Youth Forum 2010 and the application process through our newsletter, Twitter and Facebook page!

Course Description

This course is designed to prompt an exploration of common behaviours and attitudes towards gender differences. It will present facts and figures about the situation of women and men in our society today – and references from key documents that highlight policies formulated to address gender concerns. Recent events have shown that if governments are serious about achieving the Millennium Development Goals, MDG’s, it is essential that gender be taken into account for all the goals. Gender equality in the MDGs touches almost exclusively on the area of education, and research does show the importance of equality in this area, but this is not sufficient. This e-learning course will empower the participants with tools and sector-specific guidelines for gender mainstreaming in their various institutions and development planning. It will further improve the abilities of participants to reduce gender inequalities in their various homes, organisation and communities.

The course also features a number of exercises and reflective activities designed to explore basic gender concepts and enhance gender analysis skills, which can be applied in the formulation of policies, the design of programmes, and the exercise of evaluation.

BENEFITS

The overall purpose of the training programme is to enhance the gender-responsive planning of key institutions and the management skills of their employees, so that they can more effectively play their part in implementing gender-sensitive development policies as well as mainstreaming gender in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, MDG’s.

COST

Course fees include access to all course materials, expert support, assignments as well as postage and packaging of a certificate. There is a limited amount of partial scholarships available for applicants from developing countries, based on financial need. Developing countries means as defined by the World Bank and UNDP classifications.

LOCATION: Online

Total Duration: 5 Weeks, approximately 25 hours learning time

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

The deadline for application is 2nd February 2010. While full tuition payment is due on 5th February 2010. However, applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis. Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
