Help Develop a Global Youth
AIDS Coalition (GYCA): E-Consultation
To begin forming a Global Youth AIDS Coalition, we seek
the input and support from young leaders in the fight
against HIV/AIDS worldwide. As of Monday, October 11,
we will begin an e-consultation with any youth and/or
adult allies interested in contributing to the formation
of a Global Youth AIDS Coalition. This coalition was
proposed by youth worldwide, including the youth attendees
of the XV International AIDS Conference in Bangkok and
XIV International AIDS Conference in Barcelona .
The e-consultation will help us to: identify our needs
as youth, to set forth goals and objectives, to brainstorm
on funding and organizational issues, to create working
groups with thematic focuses, and to identify key leaders
and their skills. Facilitators will provide weekly summaries
at the beginning of the following week.
To participate
in the e-consultation, please sign up to our "GYCA consultation" list-serve
by sending a blank email to GYCAconsultation-subscribe@groups.takingitglobal.org .
We will also conduct periodic online chats for those
youth who have infrequent access to email facilities,
announced on http://groups.takingitglobal.org/GYCAconsultation.
We encourage
you to reach out and get feedback from those who do
not have email access at all by having "off-line
consultations" and reporting back to the rest of
the group.
If you do not want to participate in creating the structure
of this coalition, you will still be able to join the
coalition as a member or partner after it has been formed.
An announcement on how to do this will be widely publicized
at a later date. Meanwhile, we encourage you to email
Joya Banerjee (joya.banerjee@gmail.com ) to provide your
contact if you would like information about the coalition
later on, or if you have any questions!
Full details about the coalition can be found at: http://groups.takingitglobal.org/GYCAconsultation
It is time for youth worldwide to work in solidarity
to protect our bodies, our families, our communities,
and our countries from the devastation of HIV/AIDS. Please
share your valuable insights and expertise as youth leaders.
Help us to spread word of GYCA by forwarding this invitation
to youth HIV/AIDS leaders worldwide!
Nous voudrions aussi tenir la consultation de courrier
electronique en francais mais il faut avoir une tradacteur
qui pourrait etre disponible pour une heure chaque jour.
Nosotros tambien queremos tener la consultacion electronica
en espanol, pero no temenos un traductor. Si puedes ayudarnos
traduciendo los mensajes (aproximadamente una hora diaria),
por favor ponte en contacto!
