The document summarizes the 7th Annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations, organized by the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation. The Youth Assembly brings together nearly 1000 global youth leaders to focus on youth-led development and the Millennium Development Goals through training, networking, workshops and cultural events. It aims to promote youth participation in achieving the UN's Millennium Development Goals and provide opportunities for leadership, idea sharing and global connections.
In December 2009, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 64/134 proclaiming the Year, signifying the importance the international community places on integrating youth-related issues into global, regional, and national development agendas. Under the theme Dialogue and Mutual Understanding, the Year aims to promote the ideals of peace, respect for human rights and solidarity across generations, cultures, religions and civilizations.
If I was to choose my absolutely favourite topic of the course on public diplomacy, that would surely be education. There is no other field where coutnries can gain so much and punch above their weight. There is also no field that will have more impact on the future - of countries, of generations, of international relations, of labour markets, of economic development in various regions. Having students from many countries in my classes I could already see how things are changing regionally and globally - I could also see how different their education needs to be in comparison to my own experiences from less than a decade ago.
On 30 December in Youth office in Belgrade Milena Milićević from The Faculty of Engineering Management held a lecture where she shared her impressions from One Young World Summit (OYW) in Johannesburg where she represented Serbia in October 2013. She explained to the motivated people, students and young professionals, in which international projects they can take part.
The international Summit ''One Young World'' was initiated by Kate Robertson and David Jones, working at media agency Havas so that young people, aged 18-30 get engaged in projects and start developing their leadership skills and international communication. Summit One Young World is because of the quality of young delegates and councellors conceptualized like ’’Davos for 25-year olds.’’ During OYW prominent councellors worked with delegates, including Richard Branson, Nobel Laureatte Mohammed Yunus, Arianna Huffington, Bob Geldof, Kofi Annan, Boris Becker, Jamie Oliver and other people.
In her lecture, Milena Milićević introduced global initiatives and knowledge that she obtained in the following fields: fundraising, community organizing, gender equality and health protection for youth, entrepreneurship, sustainable development, travels for youth and media. Moreover, Milena thanked to her friends who helped her go to Summit due to Indiegogo campaign and to companies which donated money for her endeavour: EXIT Foundation, Telekom Serbia, Elektrovojvodina and Infostud.
In 2014 we should expect lectures about entrepreneurship, sustainable development and gender equality from Milena and her team so that we encourage initiatives of young people in Serbia and that we become part of regional and global projects within the organization ''One Young World.''

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

LA BASED NON PROFITS IMPACTING AFRICA DEVELOPMENT.pdfNaomiMbise
When governmental revenue and capacity is limited, Non -Profits play a vital role in filling the gap by providing services in areas such as health, environment, education, poverty alleviation and protection of human rights among many other functions. Non-Profits are vital in the advancement of communities and they highly contribute to global development. Africa is one of the target locations that Non-Profits such as those based in Los Angeles conduct their work. This Research aims to map out the background, framework and impact of LA based Non-Profits impacting Africa Development. The research focused on one Non-Profit and one Non-Governmental Organization; Conrad N Hilton Foundation and Africa Focus Network respectively.

16. A Global Youth Leader Posts on Facebook: “ The Youth Assembly is about showing how one person can make a difference by engaging with the challenges of the present and being an educated and active citizen. “ Last year, I came to the Youth Assembly at the United Nations with no agenda. It was humbling to be around young individuals, all equally inspirational, devoted, and accomplished, each wanting to make a big difference in the world. Amongst me were accomplished young individuals – and the one thing that I share with them is a passion to change the world. It is due to the Youth Assembly at the UN that I will be enabled to pursue that passion even further. “ The International Youth Council would not be possible had it not been for your vision. I only wish nothing but success for The Youth Assembly and your work at the United Nations.” –– Esperanza Garcia, YA Workshop Leader and Youth Leader Participant: 2008 and 2009 (Director of Climate Change, International Youth Council, Philippines, 2010)
