Dear Comrades,
We have the pleasure of inviting you to the forthcoming:
IUSY WORLD COUNCIL 2015
– An Equal World Is Possible
Yerevan, Armenia – 7th May to 10th May 2015
“Peace is something more than the absence of war, although some nations would be thankful for that alone today. A durable and equitable peace system requires equal development opportunities for all nations.”
– Willy Brandt
2015 is an important year for the future of international development. The UN Special Summit on Sustainable Development, the UN Climate Change Conference, and the European Year for Development are just a few landmarks that will outline the work of the international community on the struggle for peace, equality, and sustainable development in the upcoming years.
It is also the time for us to discuss together the challenges of today and tomorrow in order to propose our solutions for a more equal and fair world. Together we will make an equal world for all possible!
Please make sure to save this date. More information will follow in a few days.
We are looking forward to meeting you all again to enjoy both fun and politics. Our hosting organization, AYF in Armenia, is happy to welcome you all in Yerevan.
With Socialist Regards,
Felipe Jeldres (IUSY President)
Evin Incir (IUSY Secretary General)
Sarkis Megerdichian (AYF Secretary General)
