Summary
What can WE do to tackle poverty and promote international development?
We want to establish a network of university based International Development Societies that will seek to inspire, motivate and equip young people with the tools to take a pro-active response to this question.
By:
1) INFORMING young people of the issues by holding speakers and debates, encouraging young people to peruse their own research and publish articles.
2) CAMPAIGNING to raise awareness of key development issues and NGOs
3) BEING PRO-ACTIVE, by providing information about volunteer projects, running workshops about setting up own development projects and running micro-finance initiatives.
