The OPPORTUNITY Thread

[Zach]

Hey All. As some of you may have noticed already, Youth for Change International now has a weekly feauture called the "Featured Opportunity". Each week, we will encourage youth around the world to support that current opportunity.

I created this board so you can share any information on programs, petitions, conventions, meetings, online activities, contests, etc. Some may be added to the Opportuniy section of the homepage.

Thanks allot for your help.

Hey Zach, awesome idea!!! have a karma!
I'd like to start by introducing you to a questionnaire about a child-friendly text the talks about rights of people who are living with disabilities!
Here's what they say:
UNICEF is calling all young people to contribute their ideas to the child-friendly text of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The Convention is an agreement between countries to make sure that children and adults with disabilities are treated fairly and in the same ways as same as other people. We want you and other young people to know about it.

So read the text and then fill in the questionnaire... Here's the link: www.unicef.org/voy/takeaction/takeaction_cfc_questionnaire.php

Like by making short documentary film, or making posters, and stage performance, and of course writing in media. But, actually we are trying to applicate for radio shows, but.. i still confuse and need ideas and more sample about writing the proposal for radio station..

Hey, I don't know where else to post this but I thought even if it wasn't featured on the opportunity section we all should take some time and sign this petition that's called Children in conflict zone - Will you listen? It's by VOY on TIG, the goal is to get 1500 signs. Please help and sign the petition:
