Why UNAOC-EF Summer School?
![Page 9: Majid Mushtaq - UNAOC Summer School](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540c16248d7f726a208b4868/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Working with brilliant young minds from different parts of the world to build bridges across nations,
create inter-cultural harmony and solve global issues by mutual
cooperation.
HOW?? Let me tell you my story!!
![Page 10: Majid Mushtaq - UNAOC Summer School](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540c16248d7f726a208b4868/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
For the last 67 years there have hardly been any mainstream
conversations between the youth in India and Pakistan and there never existed a platform which
could bring them together.
Problem:
![Page 11: Majid Mushtaq - UNAOC Summer School](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540c16248d7f726a208b4868/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Discussed the idea with Indian friends and decided to build a mainstream
human to human conversation between the youth in both countries and came
up with “Roobaroo – Beyond Borders”,
a socio – cultural exchange platform where youth from Pakistan and India
share their ideas with each other.

We live in a Global Village BUTStudents in my university have never had a chance to talk and share ideas with students from Combo, Australia, Somalia, Hungary, Brazil and so on
And same goes to the other side!!
But Problem still exists at Global Level
![Page 14: Majid Mushtaq - UNAOC Summer School](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540c16248d7f726a208b4868/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Imagine How nice it’d be if people from different countries are having “google hangouts” with each other,
participating on social media campaigns and sharing their ideas on
unique platform??
Idea:“Building Cultural Bridges”
![Page 15: Majid Mushtaq - UNAOC Summer School](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540c16248d7f726a208b4868/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I have an idea of creating a network of UNAOC-EF Summer School Alumni
where they take part in ‘building cultural bridges across
nations’ through such kind of different activities
and actively participate for community development after going back to their
countries!
![Page 16: Majid Mushtaq - UNAOC Summer School](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540c16248d7f726a208b4868/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
I believe Alumni would become more active if UNAOC launches a "Small Grant Awards Program" for the Alumni to execute some
brilliant ideas after going back to their countries.
UNAOC should welcome different ideas and then choose the best ones
A Suggestion:
