Within a 24-hour period on October 17 2007, millions of people around the globe will physically and symbolically "STAND UP" to communicate their desire to fight poverty and to hold their governments and leaders accountable for promises to end poverty by 2015.
The IYPF is calling on you to organise or join an informal local, national or regional IYPF meetings of 2+ people as part of Stand Up on (or around) October 17. At the event, the Stand Up pledge will be read and discussions facilitated on how young professionals can help to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Organisers are asked to write up the discussions, a brief report on the event and send it to the IYPS 2008 (www.iyps.org) team, along with at least one digital photo. Our team will compile an overall report to send to the Millennium Campaign. We will also the report at IYPS 2008 to ensure more views are head during the event. The pictures, event information and selected quotes will also be incorporated in to future IYPF newsletters and on our website.
See a list of events already being planned here: www.iyps.org/iyps08/regional_local_events.htm.
If you decide to take a positive action and need more info about how to organise an IYPF Stand Up Event, Contact Eddy Nicholas Ombudo Orinda – MDG Coordinator (IYPS 2008) via eddyorinda@iypf.org.
If you can't organise or make an event near you - or even if you can and want to connect with others around the world - log in at some point during October 17 and come here and interact with other YPs from around the world. Post your thoughts on how YPs can contribute to the MDGs, share photos or videos from your events, and more.
The Millennium Campaign has prepared an “Event in A Box” containing useful information, tips and STAND UP materials which will be available to download from the website www.millenniumcampaign.org. The pack includes a flyer, brochure and set of logos to download. These materials can be adapted and used for your event to produce posters, banners, t-shirts, fliers, placards, etc. |
