Two Weeks ...

It's been two weeks since the Road To Davos yet exchanges between all 60 of us - made possible by modern technology namely Facebook and MSN Messenger - are still continuing non-stop and I receive literally endless emails from the group everyday!

Davos 6
First of all, credits must go to the Davos 6 (http://www.roadtodavos.net/roadtodavos/site/the_davos_6/) for doing an amazing job at Davos on Thursday. See below. When I say amazing - not only do I mean that they performed well in the sense that they were great presenters, public speakers etc. but they did a great job in representing the 54 of us. They often referred back to us while on the panel and they incorporated many of our ideas into their speeches so a BIG THANK YOU to the 6!


The Reunion Event
Secondly - as I've said - at the moment we are planning a Reunion. But it is not going to be as simple as just another "reunion" event where people look at photos and talk about how much they've missed each other. We've done all these things on Facebook so we are actually planning a fruitful and productive reunion - not just for the 60 of us but for the wider community. We will be contacting sponsors (and thanks to the Davos 6, we have got a few contacts already but we need more!), we will be exchanging ideas on what we've done since we got back home (and how much have we done towards reaching our personal challenges) and at the moment, Mahar from Palestine has come up with an idea of having this event in a less developed country so that while we're there - we can meet with local leaders, local citizens, local youth activists etc. etc.

My personal challenge - what have I done?
To reach my goal of further promoting Student Voice - I have contacted members of the ESF headquarters and the British Council Hong Kong asking what they think of the idea of an ESF Sixth Form Leadership Conference. I am now putting together a team of Sixth Form students at Island School to organise the event and I am glad that the school is very supportive in this idea. Secondly, it looks like the British Council is going to organise an interview with the SCMP (the main English newspaper in Hong Kong) for me so that I can share my experience at Guildford with the community as well as promoting Global Youth Activism and the Student Voice idea. At the moment, this is yet to be confirmed but hopefully it will happen soon.

Thank you...
Once again for visiting my blog. I am not sure how many people still come visit it but it really encourages me to continue when people come up to me and say "I really enjoyed your blog!" or sth. like that. I will make sure that I update the progress of Guildford 60 as well as that of my own from time to time.
