Vote For My Story on the Facebook For Good Contest
About this event: The UN Climate Change Conference - Poznan, Dec 08

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Help me support the International Youth Climate Movement with a contest that is happening on Facebook.



The Facebook For Good contest is offering 3,000 euros to the grand prize winner who is using the Facebook platform for the best submitted story for creating good.



The title of my story is "Engaging Youth To Take Action To Address Climate Change" and here is the story;

I have spent the last year volunteering on an United Nations Development Programme youth climate change project. The job wasn’t easy to create a youth summary of the United Nations Human Development Report 2007/2008 but with the use of social networking which allowed me to contact people from all over the world to share their views on climate change a publication was created. I also have been using Facebook to distribute the publication online in English, French, and Spanish.

With my passion for new media I also created 7 videos which have been distributed online through sharing of those who also want to educate their peers.

I also had the chance to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia in December of 2007. Through the Facebook platform you can keep in touch with all of the other youth who are working on climate change in their own regions of the world.

I will be attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference again this year in Poznan, Poland and have been using the Causes feature to help fundraise to attend since I do not have an income from volunteering on the United Nations Development Programme youth climate change project.

I share my interests in a better world with everyone of my contacts hoping that they will pass along the information to others.

Facebook has allowed a large network to create the social change I want to see in the world.

Take a look at my story and please vote for me.

If I was to actually win the Grand Prize I would be donating it back to support other youth delegates to attend future United Nations Climate Change negotiations and to further strengthen the international youth climate movement. The contest ends on December 15, 2008 at 11:59 pm (EST) so please help me support youth in keeping our governments accountable on reducing carbon emissions.
