YIP Update, May 2008

It is amazing to think that the beginnings of YIP where only just over a year ago at the international Initiative meeting of the YouthSection in January 2007. YIP will be the result of many people, organizations and initiatives contributing part of their efforts to the program, and the program connecting their part into a community effort. This has been what we set out to do, and it’s happening! – By Reinoud Meijer (Holland), May 2008

Reasons for YIP

I saw a video of a German professor recently, who spoke at a conference. He was telling how his father used to say that what separated man from animal was stupidity. It took him 54 years in which he was an advocate for sustainable development to have to admit that there is a lot of truth in that statement. – Reinoud Meijer (Holland), May 2008

YIP: Walking the Talk on Community Engagement

There are not many places in this world where a young person can come and say, “I want to change the world!” and be told in response, “Ok, we want to help you reach that goal.” – By: Ani Hanelius (USA), April 2008
