The 6th International Youth Conference
On Globalization „Changing DNA“
If You Change Your DNA, You Will Really Change Your Life

Karanganyar, 3rd – 10th of August 2008

Changing DNA is a new concept and /or a new idea about how to ’change’ in this modern world. But it is not just about changing it is more about changing in a sustainable way. It is not a matter of fulfilling what we need now, but also preparing what we will need in the future. How can we change is one of the biggest questions in this concept. And what kind of changes do we need? What is a DNA? What is the correlation between DNA and being to change? Through those questions we were struggling and brain storming about the concept and theme of The 6th International Youth Conference in the past 4 months. 


DNA is the blueprint of life; it is located in every living cell on earth, which can control each function inside of it. Here we will not only discuss the DNA of a human being and not merely in a scientific way but more in a broader sense. Imagine if not only the living thing that has DNA, imagine if every thing in this world had it’s own DNAs. Social DNA, cultural DNA, environment DNA, institution DNA, organization DNA, society DNA, etc. It formed the character of every subject that follows. What if some of the DNA has become a problematic one? With the development of the world, DNA is growing in its own rhythm, what if this DNA is growing not in a good way?


From there we will start to focus on the problems we face in this present time. Tracking down from where problems might come from, we have to ask whether is it coming by itself or coming from somewhere else. It is like putting down a fire, when you know the source, it will be easier to handle it. This conference will try to find out about, what can a single man do for this world?


This year conference will not be the same conference like the previous years. All participants are invited to struggle with their personal experiences and documentations in life to achieve the maximum result from the conference. There will so many different kinds of activities that needs to documented and in the end to be summarized by participants. This will be the basic foundation for the participants to start moving in their own society. The activities are seminar or conference; workshops of artistic and cultural subject; action on planting trees and environment conservation; cultural performances and many more.


The aim of this conference is to find a new way and/or a concept to react in this globalization world, not just accepting and repeating the same action, but also to act in another way to create a sustainable world and society. 


Solo International Youth Conference is one of other Youth Conferences in all over the world.
