Well, rather confused under which forum to put it but here we go. I have received this e-mail from a first year in UWCAd and thought this is the right place to post it:
´You all probably know that the UN Climate Change Conference is going on right now in Copenhagen. The entire world is watching--- AND WE HAVE ARRANGED A PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT UWC!!!
The press conference is going to happen on Friday December 11th. It's going to focus ENTIRELY on UWCs, and discuss how the philosophy of the movement and the schools themselves can transform the future, especially with regards to international negotiations and climate change.
WE NEED TO FIND EVERY UWC PERSON AT COP15 AND GET THEM TO PARTICIPATE!
This means we need YOUR help, ASAP. Please forward this email to EVERY SINGLE UWC person you know, current students, alumni, teachers, ANYONE involved. The press conference is on Friday (in Denmark time), so this needs to be done AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
If everyone who receives this forwards it to all the UWCers they know, we may be able to get a really really good showing at the press conference. The amount of press coverage we get depends on how "big" the people who come are-- so alumni are very important to contact. Just imagine if Queen Noor and Nelson Mandela showed up-- BBC News, AP, The Times, etc. would not being able to keep away!!!
If you get this email, and you are at COP15, contact me at ad09awel@uwcad.it ASAP.
Thank you so, so, so much everyone! ( : Alli Welton, UWCAd
PS. If you have any press contacts who might be able to help us, please send me their contact info! ´
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
