Dear Madame President, dear Young BPW,

dear Reader!

 

Please find attached the Young BPW Newsletter for October, and I ask you to distribute this mail among all your young members. Please note, that all your input is welcome for the next editions – don’t hesitate to send me in your papers or mails!

 

Let me start this Newsletter with some very very happy news.

 

Let’s welcome very warm Young BPW in Austria, which was founded just the last weekend in Vienna. The first National Young BPW Representative of Austria is Marion Klotzberg (middle), and she already has local colleagues: Ilona Glanka (right) as local Young BPW Contactperson in Linz and Christiana Schneeweiß, acting in Salzburg (with the white shirt). A “Roadshow” next February to start and activate Young BPW in all Austrian Clubs will fortify this spirit.

 

As you can see on my face (left) and on the face from the Austrian President, Silvia Dillinger-Brigl – we are not only surprised but overwhelmed from this result.

 

To Marion and her team a successful start and have fun in your positions!

Read my report for Details.

Also internal information is to be found in the Email from Burcu Gogus, who is the current National Young BPW Representative in Turkey. Please do read her report about activities and get touched from the power and energy these wonderful women share!

 

And last but not least I am very happy to announce to you officially the European Symposium held in Berlin in Sep 2007. This event prepared by BPW Germany runs under the topic Career – Future – Family. Please read for Details the attached file.

Outside News: Report Moving Youth 2006

This report explores the lives of young women and young men who have ventured into new lands to chase their dreams or to escape oppression, war, poverty or misfortune. It profiles the lives of young women and men from ten countries – Burkina Faso, Colombia, India, Kenya, Liberia, Moldova, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Suriname and Zambia. Some have never migrated, but their lives are marked by the experiences of spouses or relatives who have moved abroad. They were interviewed by journalists Martin Caparros and Shyamala Shiveshwarkar in their countries of origin or destination.

The report includes a brief introduction with overall information about young people who move. Because young people have been largely invisible in debates and policies about international migration, the information available is very limited. By listening to the voices of young people touched by migration, by showing their human faces as they live their lives and by sharing their concerns and needs for education, employment, health, security and peace, Moving Young calls attention to young people, as part of the discussion on international migration.
