1. Invitation: 4th University Scholars Leadership Symposium (Philippines)

Humanitarian Affairs would like to invite 20 Outstanding Student Leaders to participate in the 4th University Scholars Leadership Symposium to be held in Manila, Philippines from August 1 to 7, 2013. The Symposium is endorsed by the United Nations Department of Social Affairs and the United Nations Youth Unit in New York.

Humanitarian Affairs is a member of the World Association of Non-Governmental Organisations as well as the World Alliance for Citizen Participation. It initiates and supports humanitarian relief efforts and development programs in countries that are poverty stricken and disaster prone.

This year’s Symposium will see a culmination of 1,000 student leaders from leading universities worldwide to discuss issues pertaining to humanitarian matters and sustainable development. The program will also include training sessions on leadership and communication, project management and implementation, lectures from expert humanitarians such as Robin Lim (CNN Hero of the Year, 2011) and Australia’s very own Geraldine Cox (Founder of Sunrise Children’s Village, Cambodia), as well as hands-on service learning activities at a local community.

For the past three years, over a thousand participants have taken this opportunity to not only learn and network with other like-minded individuals from different cultures and backgrounds, but to reach out to poverty-stricken and disaster prone communities outside their countries as well.

Humanitarian Affairs believes in the holistic development of global minded citizens, and this symposium would certainly be a great learning opportunity for students not only in terms of personal development, but more importantly, in nurturing social responsibility and action.

For more information on this event, access the Symposium’s official website. You may also download a copy of the 2013 Manila Symposium brochure.
