SMILE programme of Indo Global Social Service Society (IGSSS) is going to
organize a workshop on Youth and Climate Change for college students and young
professionals. The workshop will be held on 27th and 28th September at the
conference hall of Indian Institute  of Bank Management (IIBM). The programme
includes talk by the experts, documentary screening on global warming and
climate change, group works, debates, etc. There will be presentation on
initiatives taken around the world by young people and how people from this
region can take part in all these global events and raise their voice and
concern related to climate change. It is to be mentioned that this year the
international youth day also focused the theme of climate change. The recent
youth version of Human Development Report (HDR) published by United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) also deals with youth and climate change. But most
often it has been seen that less number of participants from this region of the
country participate in global events due to lack of sufficient information. The
workshop will provide a platform to explore more and more opportunities for
young people. Interested participants may communicate with the IGSSS office
(5th By Lane, Rajgarh) or may dial 98642 27589 for further details.
