** Dear Friends: ------------------------------------------------------------ You may remember - a year ago this week - we held our 1st Intl. Youth Job Creation Summit (peacechild.org/jobsummit/ here in London. One of the 5 themes was: International Cooperation - and this thematic group came up with a recommendation for a Global Coalition for Youth Employment. We have worked hard with partners in the intervening 12 months, and today: Its OFFICIAL!! A New Global Coalition for Youth Employment will be announced on Wednesday 8th October, 11.30 to 13.30 in the Wolfensohn Atrium of the World Bank Headquarters in Washington DC. And we are ALL invited! It is a HUGE atrium - and the World Bank team who have been working on it want to fill it to the rafters with youth - activists - educators - business people - academics - ANY ONE and EVERY ONE with an interest in solving that question we raised at our Summit last year: How are we going to create a billion new jobs for youth over the next decade? So - Please! - if you are in or near Washington DC - do go along. All you have to do is to register your intention to attend at:[INS: https://surveymonkey/s/newcoalitionforyouthemployment :INS] - and this will give you access to the venue.
