“Hello, prospective Millennium Youth Campers!

The application process has begun again and I remember it as if it was only yesterday. As you might know, a great number of applications is received every year, out of which only a handful of students is chosen through a rigorous selection process. Sounds difficult? That is because it probably is and that is what I also, like every other applicant, thought when I started to write my application.

However, that should be the last thing on your mind. Each and every one of you has an equal opportunity to make it through and therefore everyone should look at it with utmost optimism and confidence in personal abilities.

Each and every one of you has skills exceeding others, so see this as a challenge to prove yourself and show your capabilities. Remember: nothing is impossible and each and every one of you can contribute to the amazing scientific experience, during which you’ll indulge in solving modern-day problems with other youth from all around the world.

An unforgettable international week will help you develop imagination and creativity beyond the existing knowledge in books. As answers to important questions will be formed through free discussions with camp participants and experts on their fields, you will become modern researchers.

Learn how to make the difference in this world with original inventions, coupling such applicable knowledge with plenty of pure fun in the ‘‘one-week cultural melting pot’‘.

Apply to Millennium Youth Camp 2014, work with your heart and brains and make the difference. You can make it and it is worth it!
