Dubai Men's College students to participate in Global Millennium Summit

The Global Millennium Development Goals Summit encourages young leaders to use their innovation, creativity and practical knowledge to achieve the WFUNA Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.

MDGs are set by the United Nations as targets that the world must achieve in order to control globally pervasive problems.

Yasser Al Khayat, Sultan Saleh, and Marwan Al Zarooni, Year 2 students at Dubai Men's College will attend the five-day conference joining with more than 300 young people from all over the world who will also be attending various panel discussions and workshops on film-making, the use of new communication technologies, the art of fund-raising and project management.

As part of the work to be done, they will produce a 5-minute documentary as part of the conference.

This shall provide a grass-roots level understanding of the problem and an opportunity to capture "real" on "reel".

Their documentary will be showcased at a specially organized film festival in New York.

Dubai Men's College always supports the participation of students in such international conferences which give the students a first-hand experience and a golden opportunity to participate and interact with different students who represent different cultures and educational backgrounds.

Students will have many ideas to report on when they arrive back.
