Rock this WYA in Brussels!

Welcome to the first of our European Road to Rio events in Brussels, next Tuesday 28th February!

Join us for an evening of rock'n'roll to discover how you fit in with the themes of economic, environmental and social sustainability while also learning how to rock'n'roll, have fun and stay healthy!

We hope that this event will be a fun introduction to WYA and WYA's stance on sustainable development in the lead up to the Rio +20 UN conference in June 2012.

To reserve a place or for more information, please email wyae.suzy@gmail.com. Feel free to invite friends, we look forward to meeting you there!

Road to Rio comes to Europe!

Road to Rio 2012 : A person-centred approach to sustainable development.

...Let WYA show you the WAY

In the run up to the Rio +20 Conference on sustainable development, WYA Europe will be running a series of exciting events in Brussels to get young people thinking about where and how the person fits in the theme of sustainable development.

Members will also be invited to run their own Road to Rio projects so that they can become themselves, ambassadors of a person-centre approach to sustainable development in their communities and country.

Economic development? Social development? Environmental protection?

While we can all embrace efforts to help achieve long-term sustainable development, WYA’s aim is to ensure that the inherent dignity of the human person remains at the forefront of all development pursuits.

Over the next 4 months, we’ll be looking at how the human person fits in with sustainable development by exploring the four themes of:

My self, my family, my community and my world.

Dates for your diary:

1) Self (Rock ’n’ Roll night, Tuesday, 28^th February)

2) Family (Family footprint dinner, Friday 30^th March)

3) Community (Volunteer activities, Tuesday 3^rd & Saturday 29^th April)

4) World (International dinner, Friday 11^th May)
