New Delhi

The Youth Unite for Voluntary Action (YUVA Meet) 2015 will be organized by RCE Delhi (TERI: The Energy and Resources Institute) on 2-3 February 2015 at India International Centre, Max Muller Marg, New Delhi. The YUVA Meet is a special event of Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS) and is held a day prior to the event so that the voice of the youth can be heard at this major international forum. Seventh in the series, this year’s YUVA Meet will focus on the theme ‘Sustainable Solutions: Safe Water for All’. The meet serves as a platform for youth to collectively air their views and form a common network thereby reaching out to many more-like minded people. YUVA Meet 2014, witnessed participation from 173 young participants from 66 colleges/universities in India and eight other nations (Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, Canada, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Kenya and Swaziland).

Travel support is available for selected RCE youth representatives through the Global RCE Service Centre. The selection will be made based on certain criteria including their level of engagement with the RCEs, quality of the applications as well as the geographical balance of the participants. For those who are interested in participating in the event, please send your application form and travel support request form (if you wish to apply for funding) to the Global RCE Service Centre (rceservicecentre@unu.edu) and RCE Delhi/TERI (monmi.barua@teri.res.in; meghna.goyal@teri.res.in) no later than 19 December.  We also encourage self-funded participants.
