Learning Together Understanding Forever IVG/AIESEC Workshops

"Learning Together Understanding Forever"

Oxfam Japan IVG has teamed up with our friends at AIESEC to provide three Saturday special awareness workshops to be held at Waseda University during the months of June & July.

These workshops are for you. They will not only give you an opportunity to learn and understand about the world we live in today, but will provide plenty of opportunities to discuss and give your opinions on topics which are not talked about on the streets of Tokyo, amongst friends in a bar, or at home around the dinner table.

Saturday 5th June, 2-4pm - HIV, AIDS and Lives: World Stories and You
Saturday 19th June, 2-4pm - Education and the Developing World
Saturday 10th July, 2-4pm - Negotiating the Divide: NGOs & Development in the 21st Century

This is something new for us at the IVG and we are very excited about it. Hope to see you there!

Learning Together Understanding Forever: IVG/AIESEC Workshops Part 1

■Topic: "HIV, AIDS and Lives: World Stories and You"

We hear about HIV & AIDS on the news but we do we really know the difference between them both?
What about the people whose lives have been affected by this potentially lethal infection?
What about their families?

In this workshop we will concentrate on real people with real lives.
Yes, the worst affected areas in the world are in poverty-stricken nations.
But we will also concentrate on our own doorstep.
Here in Japan maybe we can’t see it, but figures show HIV & AIDS are here and given any chance it is willing to spread.

Want to find out more? Come and join us with our AIESEC friends at Waseda University for a lively discussion on a hushed topic which few people know or talk about.

UNU Open Colloquium "Coping after Copenhagen: Maximizing Mexico" May19@UNU Tokyo

I got Information on the event related with Climate Change.

if you are in Tokyo and interested in it, why don`t you join?

UNU Open Colloquium: Coping after Copenhagen: Maximizing Mexico
In association with The Embassy of Mexico in Japan
http://isp.unu.edu/events/2010/maximizing_mexico.html

Time: May 19, 2010, Wednesday 13:00 – 17:00
Venue: Elizabeth Rose International Conference Hall at UNU-HQ
Registration: Please send your name, affiliation, contact email, phone and
fax number to colloquium@unu.edu with subject line: Maximizing Mexico.
Fee: This is open to public event and there is no fee charged
Language: English
Program: http://isp.unu.edu/events/2010/files/OpenColloquium_Programme.pdf

Amidst mixed reflections about the outcome of UN Climate Conference in
Copenhagen last year, global voices present in UNFCCC/COP-15 were convinced
that climate change is an unprecedented challenge and is negatively
impacting life of living beings, livelihoods of poor and equilibrium of
social-economic-environmental systems. Mitigation – to effectuate reduction
of green house gases still remain priority among nations, but is less likely
to benefit the world without universally acceptable and legally binding
agreement. Urgency for immediate and adequate actions to 'adapt to climate
change' before its impacts become unmanageable – has also gained
considerable priority in the recent climate debate. UNU in resonance with
international body of scholars also believes that while adaptation offers
opportunity for all to prepare for long-term consequences of a changing
climate, robust and appropriate decisions to arrest Green-House-Gases (GHGs)
should also compliment the process without further delay. However, in
addition to augment adequate financial and technological resources,
capacities to act rapidly also need to be amplified in the world over.

To discuss these emergent issues further towards optimizing possible
opportunities in the 2010 UN Climate Change Conference in Mexico, United
Nations University Institute for Sustainability and Peace is organizing an
open Colloquium on 19th May 2010. The Colloquium is aimed at galvanizing the
opinions of policymakers, administrators, researchers and the public towards
achieving following key objectives:

- Reassuring that climate change is topmost concern of present generation
to ensure that future generations also enjoy the similar, if not better,
benefits from planet earth;
- Advocating for robust decisions by the governments at all levels,
appealing for avoidance of delays, while accepting certain degree of
scientific uncertainty;
- Retrofitting policy and public opinions by engaging synergistic
thinking and promoting analytical discourse.

Participation in the colloquium is open to all and is specifically targeting
at academia including students, researchers, scientists, activists,
environmental NPOs/NGOs, administrators, representatives from embassies,
international organizations, media and concerned citizens. Key note speeches
will be delivered by some of the renowned climate change experts of present
times. Panel discussion will help to get further inputs from wide spectrum
of practitioners and policy makers. Concluding session will include
interaction with the audience.

Closer

in modern lives, I feel that I live alone here.

sometime, I just wanted to be closer to anyone.

but same time, I got fear "at the case I would not be accepted...." so just pretended as I was OK!?

Be Natural and live with smile is prescription for better live.
