The THIMUN Youth Assembly (TYA) will be back this January with a new structure. After not having had a July session this year, we are pleased to announce that TYA14 is scheduled to take place from 24 to 29 January 2010 in The Hague. We are currently working towards creating a new format and agenda for the conference.

In its new format, the TYA will aspire to provide youth with a unique set of skills that enables them to become active stakeholders. The participants will be offered thematic and project management workshops, which will be organized and delivered by youth with relevant experience and in collaboration with experts. After attending these workshops, participants will be given the opportunity to apply what they learnt by drafting pilot community-specific projects. Moreover, the TYA, as usual, aims to provide the participants with the opportunity to network with other youth in a diverse and multi-cultural environment.

The following committees have been chosen for January:
- Environmental Sustainability & Human Development
- Diseases & Development
- Cultural Awareness, Human Rights & Globalization
- Responsible Supply & Demand
- Society, Information & Technology
- Gender Issues

Please check our website frequently for updates. The participant applications will open early September. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact presidents@youthassembly.org.
