WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES: INDIGENOUS
PROGRAMME
PRIMATES WORLD RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT FUND
CORDILLERA PEOPLES ALLIANCE YOUTH CENTER
July 2001
Dear Friends,
Warmest solidarity greetings!
On behalf of host, the Cordillera Peoples Alliance Youth Center (CPA-YC)
together with the sponsorship of the Primates World Relief and
Development Fund (PWRDF), and the World Council of Churches -
Indigenous Programme, we would like to cordially invite your
organization to the International Indigenous Youth Conference (IIYC)
with the theme “INDIGENOUS YOUTH: MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF THE NEW
MILLENNIUM.” It will be held in Baguio City, Philippines on April
17-26, 2002.
The IIYC aims to gather indigenous youth representatives from all over
the world in order to help define the role and tasks of the world
indigenous youth movement in the 21st century. Specifically, it aims
to:
1. Bring together indigenous youth from different nations to share
their experiences, issues and struggles.
2. Determine, study and analyze the specific problems affecting the
indigenous youth caused by the impact of globalization in their
various socio-economic-cultural context.
3. Develop and strengthen solidarity relations amongst indigenous
youth towards the establishment of an indigenous youth network that
shall be part of the international indigenous peoples movement.
Please refer to the attached Programme for the three-day conference
and related activities. Any feedback on and suggestions to the
Conference Programme are welcome.
Aside from the conference, CPA invites all delegates to join in the
celebration of Cordillera Day. This is an opportunity for the
delegates to learn more about the Cordillera peoples movement. The
Cordillera Day celebration will be from April 22-25, 2002. For those
interested, please book your flight from the Philippines to your
destination on April 26, 2002. We are also open to host extended
integration with the Cordillera peoples and to those interested please
inform the IIYC Secretariat. For those who will have an extended
integration, though we will partially subsidize your stay, please
prepare a contingency fund of US $ 50.00 to US $ 100.00 to cover food,
transportation and other related expenses.
The Conference is open to all interested indigenous youth. However,
the organizers may not be able to shoulder all expenses. Thus, we
encourage interested participants to raise their own airfare and
registration fee.
For delegates who have confirmed their participation for the earlier
date of the IIYC, please reconfirm your participation by submitting
the Registration Form attached to this document.
