Hello everyone!
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying this happy and festive period of the year. Best wishes of health, happiness and prosperity to all of you, young leaders out there!
For me, I had some pretty good news this week. Actually, I received a formal invitation to participate in the first NMC World Youth Meeting for a Sustainable Future which will take place in Bari (a city south of Italy) from January 19th to January 21st.
This summit is organized by the Italian Government, the Apulia Regional Government and the National Agency for Youth in Italy of the European Youth in Action Program in collaboration with Inter-American Development Bank, ILO, UNESCO and UN-HABITAT among others.
So, I am really happy to start 2010 with more energy and drive and pursue my engagement in my local and global community. One of my top resolutions for the coming year will be to lead by example and work harder in all the projects I started or will start in the future.
More importantly and as the co-founder of an international youth initiative called "MOMENTUM: Mission, Passion, Expression", my short-term goal is to publish the second edition of the MOMENTUM magazine that will be available online very very soon (in the beginning of January probably). By the way, I'd like to thank all the TIG members and the other young leaders who sent us their submissions (articles, poems, artwork). It's greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work :)
