Dear Students, Scholars, NGO and corporate representatives, aspiring and ccomplished leaders, we are happy to announce a great opportunity to gain exposure to other cultures while expanding your social network and adding valuable interest to your resume.

We cordially invite you to join us at the Tomorrow People Organization' s Second Annual Education and Development Conference 2007, where you will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the importance of education and its correlation with cultural, political, social and economic settings. The Conference will pose and seek to answer questions such as:

What are educational systems like and what is the potential of educational development in different parts of the world? Is there gender/ race and class equality in access to education? What can be done to promote the importance of education? What are the secrets of successful educational systems? Where are we on the Millennium Development path as regards the goal of promoting and providing access to education for all? What can we do to move ahead?

EDC 2007 is an intensive three-day program for aspiring leaders in which participants develop their leadership, communication, and cross-cultural skills. It aims to bring together both scholars and students as well as experienced professionals willing to learn more and share their ideas and achievements about the importance of education and it correlation with development. It consists of four components: an introductory session, participants’ presentation, panel session and discussions. The Conference covers the basics as well as the newest developments in the field of education. It begins with an analysis of different educational systems and their impact worldwide. The bulk of the Conference is on participants’
presentations, to include single and comparative country studies, published works, examples from work in an organization or in the field, etc.

A special panel session will be dedicated to the role of education in creating sustainable future as this is the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005 – 2014).

Tomorrow People Organization believes in education for life and education for change. We welcome participants of all ages, but especially students and young professionals, who have most to gain from our programs in terms of human capital development and professional counseling and support. We encourage our participants to implement their newly acquired skills in practice and to share their knowledge with their colleagues and community members, thus acting as agents of positive change. Our mission is to educate global citizens—future leaders!
