Space Generation Advisory Council Launches Global Fundraiser To Promote Youth Participation in Space Exploration

The Space Generation Advisory Council, the world's largest group representing youth perspectives on space exploration to the United Nations and national space programs today announced its 2008 annual fundraiser to promote youth participation in space exploration.

The Council runs a number of projects each year to promote space participation amongst youth. These projects include an annual conference taking place in 2008 in Glasgow, Scotland, research projects that report three times annually to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN COPUOS) and a new technical program allowing teams of youth to launch their own experiments to space.

"It is vitally important that youth have a say in the how their own future unfolds as space will play an increasingly important role in their lives," said Alex Karl, Global Chairperson of the Space Generation Advisory Council. "Our programs encourage and foster youth participation around the world in space exploration. There are a lot of important issues at hand, but it is also a lot of fun."

The projects of the Space Generation Advisory Council rely entirely on volunteer contributions and support.
