A new poll and discussion thread has been added to the IYPS2008 TIG
page. The theme is "What skills do young professionals need, on top
of their professional skills, to be able to help to achieve the
MDG´s". Go here: http://events.takingitglobal.org/14421/discuss/6369.

Are there projects you would like to do but you feel limited because
you don´t know how to organise an event or how to fundraise? Do you
struggle to use new IT systems like TIG? Does your not for profit
organisation need a website but you don´t know how to design it? Just
how do you write to government policy makers? Perhaps another IYPF
member can help you from their previous experiences. Capacity
building is a major part of what IYPF is all about, so we need to
start sharing our issues and experiences together.

Please answer our poll or join in the discussion, as we will be
trying to use your ideas to drive our skills sessions programme for
IYPS20008.
