STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE "YOUNG VOICES
FOR CHANGE" UNITED NATIONS YOUTH FORUM
On
Monday, September 12th 2005, a group of ASB
students participated in the "Young Voices
for Change" United Nations Youth Forum
at the United Nations Conference Centre Bangkok.
Organized
by the UNIS Bangkok and World Youth Peace Summit,
the "Young Voices for Change" forum
is a lead up to the 2005 World Summit where
world leaders will discuss issues raised in
the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's report
'In Larger Freedom'. The program featured panel
discussions by young people and experts on the
report's four main sections: freedom from want,
freedom from fear, freedom to live in dignity,
and strengthening the United Nations.
Our ASB Concert Choir students presented their
choral singing abilities at the opening ceremony.
A group of our high school students observed
the conference, discussed and debated on many
issues pertaining to our present times.
The
forum provided an excellent opportunity for
ASB students to meet with students from other
international schools and Thai universities,
and share their ideas on how to work on UN issues
in their communities.
