The United Nations Headquarter is celebrating its 25th anniversary in Vienna.

Due to this fact the United Nations Youth and Student Association of Austria (UNYSA-AUSTRIA-AFA) is celebrating this event during its 10th Vienna International Model United Nations - the VIMUN 2004.

Further, a series of celebrations and events are being planned where UNYSA-AUSTRIA-AFA is the lead Youth NGO.

Therefore, we would like to invite TIG members and friends to celebrate this event via TakingITGlobal.

Dear TIG Members and Friends,

A while ago I have developed a university program for Renewable Energies meant for those who are interested in the topic from an economic, social and political point.

This program will be offered at the Intercultural Open University an UNESCO accredited university that is based on distance learning and offering undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs.

If anybody is interested in this program please let me know and contact me since I am going to be the coordinator for this program.

Dear TIG Members and Friends,

I just wanted to inform you that registration for VIMUN has started. You can find the online registration form on the website of www.vimun.at under Admissions at the very bottom where a link will take you there.

Just to give you a brief overview of the event I will provide with some details below.

This year's VIMUN will be 10th VIMUN. At the same time we will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Headquarter in Vienna.

VIMUN is a UN simulation conference where young people between the age 18 and 35 will get the possibility to play the roles of diplomats in a simulation of UN agencies like the Security Council, the Commission on Human Rights, the International Labour Organization.

Topics that will be covered by VIMUN include Child Trafficking, Truth Commissions, Youth Employment and Technology Transfer to Developing Countries.

All topics will be inter-linked and will give participants the opportunity of interacting and thinking in a new and creative way.

Consequently, VIMUN will also pay tribute major events taking place this year. The Year to Commemorate the Slave Trade will be paid attention to as well as the Youth Employment Summit and the International Youth Parliament.

The organizers of VIMUN, the United Nations Youth and Student Association of Austria, hope that VIMUN 2004 will become an exciting event where people from all over the world are able to share their opinions and thoughts.

And me myself, Secretary General, will be looking forward with excitment to meet you all at VIMUN 2004

With warmest regards
Irene
