anybody want s'more ? <quote> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JUNIOR SUMMIT 1998 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Not all children have access to a computer. Without ACCESS to things like the Internet, or other programs focused on helping them learn more about technology, technology is like a genie in a lamp. The power is not being released." (Junior Summit applicant) _____________________________________ AMBASSADORS OF A NEW DIGITAL CULTURE EXPRESSIONS OF CHANGE The world has a lot to learn from its children, especially in the digital domain. The information society of tomorrow needs input from children today. The Junior Summit is a global movement for children to change the future by participating in a 6-month online forum, centered around a week-long international summit. The goal is to bring life-long benefits back to children and their communities. INSPIRE THE WORLD TO CHANGE To inspire the world to listen, we want you to express your ideas boldly and creatively, in words, images and music. The Junior Summit is a place to live outside the sphere of what children are supposed to be able to do. It is a place to explore, invent, learn and plan with other children, and then to have your ideas heard by world leaders in industry, government and education. DEADLINE MARCH 31st, 1998 If you will be between 10 and 16 years old in November 1998 and would like to participate, you must submit an entry by March 31, 1998. We want to know how you see the state of children in your commmunity and in the world, what changes you think can and should be brought about, and how these changes could be affected by the growth of the Internet and other new communication technologies. <endquote>
