Please pass this on to any young people (18-25 years old) you know who want to bring about positive change in their communities, are committed to working with others, and want to learn from other young people around the world. We also encourage more than one applicant from each organisation or community group. OIYP is an Oxfam International initiative, managed by Oxfam Australia since 2000. OIYP strengthens young people’s ability to effect change in their community, and provides a base from which they can influence broader changes through engagement in a global network of over 1100 OIYP Action Partners. Through a 3 year Program, OIYP will provide opportunities and support for 300 new Action Partners so they may demonstrate leadership and expand the influence of youth for positive changes locally, nationally and globally. To launch the 2010 – 2013 OIYP Program, Oxfam will host an 8 day Kaleidoscope event in November 2010 in New Delhi, India. At this event, Action Partners are given the opportunity to connect with people across regions and cultures that are facing similar challenges in their own communities. This allows for the chance for a cultural exchange, as well as the exchange of skills and knowledge building and planning on how young people can contribute to changes in their own lives as well as the lives of others in their communities. The following two years includes a variety of online and offline learning and development opportunities including face to face workshops, cultural immersion programs, e-workshops, online discussions and networking opportunities. Applications are currently open and we would love to make sure as many young New Zealanders as possible are given the opportunity to join the OIYP network. For more information about the Oxfam International Youth Partnerships (OIYP) Program, please visit our website www.oiyp.oxfam. org. A short video of the last Kaleidoscope event, held in 2007 in Sydney, can be found here http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=WgPRoCGI6_ U Who are we looking for?

It is open to young people with any level of education and who live in rural or urban areas.

Applications close on 12 February 2010. Applicants will be informed of their selection by mid April 2010. At this point, we will inform successful applicants (Action Partners) of how OIYP will support them to attend the OIYP Kaleidoscope 2010 event. There is a limited scholarship pool which will be allocated to support travel costs for many of the top selected Action Partners. However some Action Partners may be required to fundraise for travel costs, in these cases OIYP will provide support letters and training on fundraising. There is no registration fee for OIYP. I appreciate your support in helping to promote this opportunity by getting the application form into the hands of interested young people.
