Okay, okay - I admit that we have another 5 months until August swings by, but as the saying goes: the early bird catches the worm...

I mentioned in my first post of 2008 that TIG is involved in 2 major international events, so here's some quick info to get up to speed on what they are, and how TIG is involved:

Regeneration 2008: 4th World Youth Congress
August 10 to 21
Quebec City, QC, Canada

The World Youth Congress (WYC) is an international gathering of youth leaders, who are making a positive impact in their local communities. They are deeply involved with youth-led community improvement - running action projects that make a real difference. In Quebec City, they will have the chance to celebrate their achievements and learn from each other in an open and inclusive environment. TIG is partnered with Congres Mondial des Jeunes and Peace Child International to organize the Congress. You can find out more about the Congress and the planned activities here.

I'm personally excited about this, as it will be my first trip to Quebec City, and I'm looking forward to meeting as many young activists and leaders as possible. You guys are truly inspirational!!

Update: We're having a live chat event on Friday April 4 at 10:00 am EST - where you can ask us questions about the event and hopefully learn more about what we plan on doing! Hope you can join us - I'll be on the panel.

XVII International AIDS Conference
August 3 to 8
Mexico City, Mexico

TIG is involved with the Mexico YouthForce - the same thing that we did in 2006 in Toronto. We're hoping for 2000 youth delegates to be in Mexico City this year, to advocate the youth position and present the youth perspective to the assembled diplomats, health workers, policy makers and every influential person in attendance. If you're looking to get involved this year, check out the Youth Site link and learn more about what you can do to take action around this important conference!

Unfortunately, I won't be attending this conference, but some of my TIG colleagues will be - so if you happen to be there - make sure to say hi!!

Until next time.....
