85% Of Young People Would Be More Inclined To Go Into Politics If They Had More Information:
"PoliticsUnder30.org, an effort by GW’s Graduate School of Political Management to support young people in politics, was recently launched to “help the young people of today become the political leaders of tomorrow,” said F. Christopher Arterton, dean of the school and professor of political management, of media and of advanced strategy. The Web site is targeted toward political science undergraduates across the country but will benefit students and professionals outside that group.
PoliticsUnder30.org was founded because the Graduate School of Political Management saw a need to educate and support young people pursuing a profession in politics. The Web site will include a range of interviews with speechwriters, members of Congress, lobbyists, elected officials, campaign managers, candidates and others. Viewers will have the opportunity to submit questions for video interviews, ensuring the site's content is targeted and relevant. There will also be an up-to-date job and event listing, including White House career guides and Capitol Hill staff structure charts.
As the poll suggests, access to a Web site with political career advice, information and listings, will help undergraduates navigate the D.C. political arena. Most importantly, this type of outlet does not currently exist. While there is a wealth of career resources available for young doctors and lawyers, no site to date has met the needs of aspiring politicos.
The George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management seeks to improve politics by educating its students and professionals in the tools, principles and values of participatory democracy, preparing them for careers as ethical and effective advocates and leaders at the international, national and local levels.

Well quite interesting in the percentage!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps can be implemented here in Msia; since many issues being raised up daily in the political sector from nearly each n every party.
The main clash in the party itself is unity and trust issues. And another is power battle amongst seniors and junior/youth politicians.
With the above idea, I guess the friction can be reduced. The seniors can be laid back n guide the juniors in the new world of politics. A chance is what needed by every young people just like how we all used to be yearning to get a chance when we were teens just to prove ourselves.
With having this co-joint, definately success of a party could be attained. Experience of the seniors and new blossomed youth being in politics can irradicate thoughts of politics isn't bad afterall among the young generations!
Having to recruit more young people in a party is by having young people itself in the party and providing the other youngster with proper Infomations.
The people idea on politics always change and so the politics itself. Therefore, the superior managements of a party should open more youth wing(which is done by most) but also to allow them grow into the mainstream!
Young people have vibrant and new idea according to the changing waves and more gadget-savy that every Information regarding a party could be spread out to attract and tell out the benefits of the party.
This measure should be put to start in Local for the benefits of ALL! Changes aren't instant but possible
~Cheers!~
