Global Youth AIDS Coalition E-Consultation- starting OCTOBER 11!
- Janet Feldman
**************

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. On
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!
