Announcement of the 4th Youth Conference
Dear friends and members of Yoga in Daily Life Youth Union, here is the newest information about our Youth Conference 2006!
At first we would like to address those of you, who would like to participate in the conference actively. Choose one of the given themes and way of presenting it – it can be different from those which are given below. Please notify us till March 10, 2006 (recently prolonged). Every idea is welcome. It would be perfect to make your contribution as a group, but it is not a condition. After announcement and approval you can work on your contribution till about May or June.
Being a yoga practitioner is not a condition for participation in the conference! Please feel free to contact us with your ideas, regardless of your cultural, religious and philosophical background!
If you have further questions, let us know, we will be glad to explain everything and help you.
We would like to invite also those who want to help us with the organisation: to watch what is new, to share their ideas and suggestions with us and to take over some assignments.
And we need also some people who would like to help us to find the sponsors. Please let us know if you could help us with this.
