When Children Meet

By on May 16, 2006 in Causes

Click here to hear Dave and Deepak’s song, When Children Meet.

I would love to create THE WORLD CHILDRENS FORUM like THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.
A summit meeting once a year of children from every country. Speakers who range from 7yrs old to 18 yrs old. I wan to hear their issues and views on the global situation whether it’s about Global Warming, War, Drugs whatever. I want to hear their perspective.

I would like the same amount of media attention as Davos around our children’s village with parts of speeches reaching every country through news channels hitting home to every family and creating a global feeling of unity through the eyes and words of our children.

This is a no brainer for intelligent companies to sponsor as they would get unbelievable exposure, and if this whole thing brings an ultimate message of Peace, then what is their to lose? Coca Cola should sponsor it — their famous commercial said “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony” Well, "why don’t they launch this idea with a new drink that is good for you", and that will let the children speak?!

Thanks Dave

After reading some blogs about my blog:-I add this
changing big business by vetting them in order to sponsor world childre’ns forun is part of the idea ie:when i said "why don’t they launch this idea with a new drink that is good for you" I was not only thinking about using their money to help put on something of such scale but also forcing coca cola to look at their product. The yearly event I am envisioning needs to raise huge amounts of money so that children from all over the world can be flown to the location living accomodation for two weeks
conference rooms etc. etc. an enormous organisation employing hundreds of people. The whole concept would be to hear the real stories of what is happening to youth around the world uncensored and to get childrens perspective on the way society is heading and what frightens them about it and what do they embrace about it warts and all.
