—SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL—
MARCH 17 and 31, 2012@ASIA
Designed as a joint effort by Keio Media Design’s Global Education project, UNESCO and SOI Asia, AGORAsia Youth is an online environment to stimulate global discussion on sustainable development among young students in Asia from different countries, locations and backgrounds.
This global experience will provide them with a great opportunity to gather with peers abroad, discuss, teach and learn from each other, share and send their message from Asia to peers around the world and to future generations. The nameAGORAsia is derived from two words: ‘Agora’ means public “place of assembly” in ancient Greek, and ‘Asia’ represents the origin of this project.
OBJECTIVE
This edition of AGORAsia Youth will stimulate high schools students in Asia to think, reflect and discuss about one of most challenging global issues: Energy.
United Nations declared 2012 as the Year of Sustainable Energy for All, in order to “raise awareness about the importance of increasing access to energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy.” (Sustainable Energy for All website)
Participants will learn more about the importance of energy in our daily lives, the influence on a nation’s development and what is sustainable energy and the need for to study this subject matter now. Together they will try to find a way to contribute to the spread of sustainable energy.
