Video conference on trade - call for participants
Oxfam, Taking It Global-Russia and Peace Child International are inviting young people to contribute to a discussion about trade. The debate will be held between Russian young people and representatives of Russian government and international organisations, and will share ideas on what will happen when Russia joins the World Trade Organisation in 2006.
The forum is part of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) campaign to mark the 3rd white band day on Saturday 10 December. On that day, on the eve of WTO ministerial summit in Hong Kong, GCAP coalitions in almost 70 countries are acting together to put pressure on world leaders to do more to eliminate poverty and in particular to come up with fair trade regulations that take into account interests of the developing nations.
As Russia prepares itself to become a member of the WTO, it is essential that Russian people, and especially young people, learn about the implications of this process. What challenges and prospects does the membership offer? The video forum will be held on the afternoon of Monday 12 December, in London.
To participate in the open conference on the British side, please submit your application (stating name, age, email, place of residence, occupation, volunteer experience and why you're interested in the forum) TODAY (5 December) to Joao Felipe Scarpelini at idc@peacechild.org.
