Goals of the Summit:
All teens have chosen an issue group, and when in Belgrade they will work with others in their issue group to:
• Create resolutions of action to present to the United Nations and their home countries.
• Create public service announcements that will encourage other teens to become actively involved in creating change.
• Share their past successes with each other, including videos, collaborative projects, work at other teen summits and with other organizations.
• Plan future work together through international media exchange projects.
