World Youth Peace Summit in Jordan

I came across this by chance and found it very interesting so I thought I'd share :)

From September 11 to 15, 2006, youth leaders from all the nations of the world will assemble at the Dead Sea in Jordan for the World Youth Peace Summit. The Historic gathering - under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II – will recognize the importance of this date, and in partnership with Chat the Planet will include a live link between 'ground zero' in New York City and the Summit in Jordan. Chat the Planet is a new vision of how television, the Internet, and a network of global partnerships can create compelling television programming, and a vibrant global community of youth conversation and a culture of civic engagement.

At the Summit young leaders will assess global challenges, working amongst themselves and with international mentors to develop new and innovative solutions that ensure a just and peaceful global future. Delegates will be young leaders representing all regions of the world and a wide range of professional sectors, in an effort to produce a broad-based network of youth working for positive change.
