PREPARATORY
ACTIVITIES
During 2004, young people
started with preparatory activities such as meetings,
Internet discussion forums, an art competition,
poetry and essay competitions, to begin to prepare
their positions on the three Youth Visioning themes:
- Life and love in islands
- My island home
- Money in my pocket
During the
interregional preparatory meeting for the review
of the SIDS Programme of Action, held in The
Bahamas from the 26th to 30th January 2004,
Bahamian youth conducted their own visioning for
island living consultation. This provided valuable
insight for the larger activity in Mauritius in
January 2005.
A Caribbean
regional preparatory meeting for Youth Visioning
was held in St. Lucia from 25th to 27th
October 2004 in collaboration with OECS. A full
report has been prepared of this meeting.
Also during
2004, countries selected delegates to go to the
Youth Visioning meeting in Mauritius, 7-12th
January 2005.
The discussions
on the Small Islands Voice youth internet forum
were particularly useful in preparing some background
ideas. A document was prepared summarizing the
major discussion lines and this was distributed
to the youth delegates in Mauritius.
