freedom: GYLC PAKISTAN

Being alumni of Global Youth Leadership Conference (GYLC) 2012 that was held in Pakistan on 27 may- 30th may , today I finally decided to write a blog on that conference. I was planing to write it before but never find time to do so. But quickly without wasting time of my readers I would like to tell you what is GYLC.....

WHAT IS GYLC

Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) gives high-achieving students a greater understanding of their roles as global ambassadors while analyzing concepts surrounding communications, diplomacy, law, human rights, peace, security, economics and the role of the United Nations. Students return home from GYLC with a greater understanding of their roles and responsibilities as citizens and future leaders in an international community.

Each session of the Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) is designed to educate, inspire and motivate students by giving them the opportunity to explore cultural differences firsthand, absorb diplomatic skills daily, build confidence and enhance decision-making skills in an exciting atmosphere that is challenging and fun.

The GYLC curriculum was developed by Dr. Marguerite C. Regan, a former high school teacher and social science department chairperson with a doctorate in political science from Purdue University. Dr. Regan has been involved in the creation and development of innovative educational curricula and programs for over 30 years. Under Dr. Regan's direction, the curriculum provides a unique approach to leadership training.

Another thing I want to mention that there was nothing on Google Pakistan when I try to find any news stuff about GYLC Pakistan. So I will try my best to be objective & precise..

Every year GLY team from different countries like USA, UK etc travels to other countries for GYL conferences.There are more than hundred countries now, in which this program has been successfully introduced.
