So what exactly IS the Youth Nation Summit 2011? Well, do you know AIESEC? Have you heard of myHarapan? Chances are if you don’t know them, then you may not have the chance to live up the full potential of your youth during those younger days! Dubbed the “Power of Y”, the Youth Nation Summit 2011 is a platform that gathers 500 Malaysian youth leaders who are passionate and dedicated to making positive changes in their communities and in the world. The two organisations I mentioned there are doing the impossible by organizing one such platform!

Basically, when you never had the chance to realize your full potential, this platform allows you to do so, by networking and collaborating with the brightest minds of Malaysia to do something so powerful that we’re not just limited to Malaysia, but the world! (sounds similar? That’s cause myHarapan, one of the organizers, are the same guys who provided the necessary backing for me and my team on the EYE project!)
So the question is, WHY do something like this? Well, let’s take for example, the rising alert on global issues such as HIV/AIDS and global warming – they should no longer be taken lightly and in a nation of a young population like ours, we believe that our youth leaders should be trained to equip and prepare themselves as future leaders who will be ready to tackle the uproar of such global issues. Put simply, this summit will serve as a platform for them to equip themselves with the necessary skills and resources as well as to engage businesses and government to support their ideas.
Ok, ok, on with the details then.
