SEPTEMBER 10 2008: WE ARE NOW LIVE!

Start thinking about the issues through our quiz, then have your say about the Sydney Declaration on the online forum.

Welcome to the ISAREEP ’08 Website!

We’ve all thought about poverty at some stage. Yet for some strange reason, there is a distinct lack of a national platform in which we can all have a debate about the broader framework questions about Australia’s role in eradicating it.

We want to hear what your opinion is. That’s why we’ve set up this online forum to start the ball rolling. And that’s why we’re hosting 400 people on October 10-11 to trigger a new groundswell of action.

We’re creating a national and unified student voice that will speak much louder than its individual parts. We will host 300 students from universities across Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific, to create the Sydney Declaration, a 3 year plan for where this national student voice believes Australia should be in its commitment to global poverty eradication.

But we appreciate the wisdom of experience, so we’re inviting an additional 100 special advisors who will hail from the Australian Government, Non-Government Organisation (NGO) Community, and Corporate Sector so that what the students come up with is well-advised and tested.

And when it’s done and dusted, we are going to send our participants back to their local communities to use the Sydney Declaration to start the wheels of change moving.
