YouthNetters Discuss Concerns

After very lively discussions on "Peace" at the time of the war in Iraq, the YMCA YouthNet is now discussing what they consider as the most pressing issues faced by youth today in their countries. So far, we have received interesting comments from YouthNetters in Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore. Some issues raised: suicide, education, unemployment, poverty, media violence, globalisation, gender equity, injustices, communal disharmony, environment, lack of social responsibility or apathy, political instability/poor governance. Young YMCA leaders who wish to participate in this and future discussions are invited to join the YouthNet by registering at: youthnet@asiapacificymca.org
