All of the political youth
organisations in Norway, along
with other organisations, are now working together to get HIV/AIDS on the
agenda. This will conclude with a large conference in Tromsø on June 10. This
effort is a co-operation with 46664 Arctic, and
is one of the many additional events that are focussing on this important
matter.
The youth conference in Tromsø is separated
into three different levels:
On a personal level, every individual
is challenged to do what they can to hinder the spread of HIV.
On a national level, the young people
will challenge Norwegian politicians and the cabinet about what they are doing -
and not doing - in respect to HIV/AIDS.
On a global perspective, there will be
a discussion about how the young people of Norway can
influence international politicians and organisations.
The co-ordinator
of the youth conference is Kjersti Engen Marsdal, who was previously closely
involved with mobilising youth.
