Intra Health Opportunity

IntraHealth passed along this amazing opportunity for this year's International Family Planning Conference in Addis, Ethiopia from November 12-15. 

The organizers are seeking youth aged 18-­‐25 years old to serve as speakers and/or moderators on youth focused and other sessions at the conference. Young people who are selected will have conference registration and travel costs covered, and will play an essential role in providing a youth perspective to the program.

This year in the spirit of using new technology to spread the word about family planning, the 2013 ICFP will be accepting applications for youth speakers through video submissions. All youth must complete their own video submission, but may seek assistance from local organizations or other resources. At least one professional reference should be provided in support of the candidate’s qualifications.

The applicant must have experience in the field of family planning, and/or sexual and reproductive health, or adolescent health to serve as moderators and/or speakers at youth focused sessions. It is encouraged that the applicant talk about family planning in relation to the conference theme -­‐ Full Access, Full Choice -­‐ or make a creative video related to the theme.

The deadline for submission is August 13, 2013. Please find additional information attached and at the below link.
