The 2012 International Goan Youth Convention in Goa is less than 4 weeks away, from Dec 26-Jan 1.
Here is what one attendee writes: "I'm especially excited to meet youth from around the world, I think the convention will be a fun interactive way to collaborate and share our ideas. I'm also looking forward to enhancing my knowledge of our shared Goan culture." (Shilla) See all the details on the convention at http://goasudharop.org/images/Goa_flyer10.pdf Please continue to share information about the convention and flyer on your Facebook pages, websites, e-groups, and with association members, contacts, friends and family. We do not want any Goan youth to find out about the convention after it is over and miss this rare opportunity. About 200 enthusiastic and dynamic Goan expat and local Goan youth are expected to participate in the event. The convention combines fun with serious fare and is an exciting youth event not to be missed. With it's theme of "Our roots, our future", the convention is a great opportunity for Goan youth (ages 15-35) from all over the world to learn more about their ancestral land. They will get a chance to meet, network and connect with other youth and also get a peek into the challenges and opportunities of current-day Goa. Besides the main convention on Dec 29 - 30, 2012, other interesting optional activities have been planned from Dec 26 - Jan 1. These include visits to a museum, art gallery and an observatory, an opportunity to watch local artisans at work, visit a spice farm, and much, much more.
