The Beginning of Road to Rio+20

After so many days of delay, I have finally strike my fingers on the keyboard to write about my stories for Road to Rio+20. First of all, I am very, very lucky to be chosen to represent Malaysian Youth to participate in the 6th World Youth Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Organised by the Peace Child International, the event has come to Rio this year after Istanbul in 2010 (Ya, I think I missed that one when I was in my final year in university). Having to be invited to run a workshop on Takakura Composting Method at the congress, I am also participating in the Cultural Night -- perform Malaysian traditional dance or joget with other Malaysian delegates, Talent Show, volunteer in the translation project (Yes, Malaysian you might be able to read the Malay and/or Chinese version of the publication by the PCI!), work out in the Solution for Rio+20 team, action plans, exhibitions, etc. The theme of this year WYC is exactly following the two themes of UNCSD which focuses on i) green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and ii) the institutional framework for sustainable development.
So, what do the young people do over there? We make noise! We want the world hear about what future we want!

There are lots of homework to be done before setting my foot on the plane. Let's see what we can do next.
