The first regular meeting of the Youth Activity Committee was held on Jan.19 at the head office of the Meguro UNESCO Association.
We, the members of Youth Activity have continued discussing holding regular meetings, since last September. The following are the results of our discussions.
The purposes of the Regular Meeting:
・To discuss and make long-term plans.
・To provide opportunities for all the Youth Activity Members and newcomers
to participate. (People can read about Regular Meetings on the web-site
and this makes it easier for them to participate.)
・To provide a forum for as many people as possible to share opinions,
make proposals, and carry out decisions made.
・To decide leaders for each event. (In the past, almost all leaders were
selected by the team of ・Retreat Leaders. After the inauguration of the
Regular Meeting, leaders will be nominated by all members of Youth Activity
Committee.)
・To provide opportunities to participants of the Retreat to participate
in UNESCO activities.
・To provide opportunities to graduates of the Retreat to participate in
UNESCO activities.
For the purposes stated above, the first Regular Meeting of the Youth Activity Committee was held on Jan.19.

A Tokyo Global Citizens’ Festival was held on Feb. 1 (Sat) at the Tokyo
International Forum and a large number of parties gave presentations. At
the request of the Tokyo Liaison Council of UNESCO Associations, the Youth
Activity Committee gave a two-hour presentation under the direction of
Ms. Atsuko Ituki.
In that presentation, we explained UNESCO, our activities and the Retreat. To better understand the atmosphere of our activities, we divided into several small groups and introduced ourselves, discussed what to do, and played “human puzzle links” with the general participants.
Reports: Mr. Takayuki Hashinaga (Chairman of the Youth Activity Committee)
