CONTRIBUTE to the Pax Christi Youth Seminar blog, or become a follower

Welcome to the Pax Christi Youth seminar blog! There is less that a week to go before we convene in Strasbourg, and TEAM YOUTH invites you to contribute to this blog with any thoughts or ideas in preparation for our seminar. We will use this social media tool to make video recordings of participants during the seminar, and we ask that everyone attending contributes at one point or another.

On thursday the 13th may, you will all attend a training session entitled “Blogging, Twitter and Social Media as Tools for Policy Dialogue”. In this session, participants will learn about development of websites, e-newsletter marketing/ content management systems, google documents, if you aren't an expert already!

The purpose of the session is to get more tech savvy, learn how to use these online tools to exchange information, organise groups and awareness raising campaigns. This BLOG is your opportunity to get a head start!

Youth Seminar on Sustainable Disarmament and Sustainable Development. (23/04/2010)

Pax Christi International will hold a Pax Christi Transnational Youth Seminar in Strasbourg, France on the topic “Military spending versus development aid: what world will we inherit?” The seminar will be held from the 10th to the 15th of May 2010. Participants are expected to make use of the Advocacy Package prepared by the International Secretariat and to do some preparatory work in their countries of origin prior to the seminar. During the seminar, participants will be able to share their experiences and meet with politicians of the European parliament and the Council of Europe. The youth will report about their conclusions to the participants of the Pax Christi International Triennial World Assembly (12th – 16th May 2010).
