youth summits on governance

[chris macrae]

 If it suited you connectors of world/youth summit , I could try and arrange after the summit an after action debrief with some of the people at the world bank's open learning campus. I think that once the world bank's tedx is done they would love to hear what ypas have discovered while its fresh in your minds

 

We could make a list of what are the ideas on changing  back to public servants valuing their primary role as ending inequality in the way that Jim Kim had described at change the world mooc

For example young african society is in quite an interesting position to assess:

 

where is mo ibrahim approach and knowledge being networked around young professional associates,  whats ushahidi's and nanocredit's role in public/poorest safety or transparent pro-youth governance

 

and where did the public private partnership approaches that the obama summit implied investment in africa celebrated specifically design in change to transparency of government; 

 

and what young professionals wish to peer to peer teach on this (if eg there were a khan academy of 21st c governance; this challenge is something that the elearning satellite www.yazmi.com  has a very delicate (and once in a world) balance on while its model relies on governments helping buy tablets with satelllite elearning included

 

I have been chatting with anyone I can access to see which other regions would see it as a breakthrough to have a young regional society inside world bank; furthest progress is with young americas where the wish to discuss this with young africa society at the end of the year was reconfirmed at a meeting I had in new york last week

 

However in my opinion it is also necessary to have young societies identified by practice areas - this ranges from the obvious like agricultures food chains to the debate that is surprisingly being raised by chinese technologists view of the internet's future - can big data ever be reanalysed to represent bottom up empowerment not just top down manipulation by the world's biggest organisations

 

of course how health millennials network ultimately decides whether a place's peoples can afford health and government by the strain of macroeconomists that emerged with tv mass media 1947=1972-  

 

this idea of health and governments sustainability was nowhere more openly rehearsed with students as far as I have observed than at Soros university in Budapest 2013 while a combination of paul farmer, soros and sir fazle abed were in dialogue during the 20th open society awards; sadly ideas that gorbachev and walesa wanted to grow across peace summits warsaw oct 2013 have been stalled -whreas as cape town in a week's time was due to celebrate the future of what 21st youth learn from mandela

Chris –

 

Wanted to step in to say that the Youth Summit next week on October 7 is not on jobs and value chains, but instead on how youth can serve as agents in promoting open governments. I invite you to visit our website bit.ly/wbgyouthsummit14 to learn more.
