IOYA’s Annual Oromo Youth Leadership Conference, July 13-15, 2012
OYLC 2012: Team Oromia: Utilizing Creativity and Leadership in the Age of New Media
Dear Oromo Youth,
We are within an amazing age of new media, technology, and creativity. So this year, the International Oromo Youth Association (IOYA) wants to catch up. This summer, IOYA’s annual Oromo Youth Leadership Conference (OYLC) is about producing results and shifting from our discussion-based emphasis to a more evidence-based emphasis. This year, we aspire for OYLC to not start and end in the few days we have each summer, but to continue beyond the summer conference and into the daily lives of both conference participants and people around the world. So, how exactly do we plan on doing this? IOYA presents: Team Oromia: Utilizing Creativity and Leadership in the Age of New Media. What exactly is Team Oromia, you may ask? It is a group of young, creative, artistic, and passionate young people that we want to collect this summer for three days to create an Oromo Youth campaign video to raise social awareness about the Oromo.
With this group, OYLC this summer will be about producing a short and concise social awareness raising video focused on shining a creative light on conditions in our country and what we have to say. We, the Oromo youth, need an outlet to speak to the world. We need a means of expressing what we think and feel about our country and the conditions of our people. So, this is our chance now, OYLC 2012, TEAM OROMIA. We, the IOYA board, are calling out to all Oromo youth to come together for this opportunity. Now is our ripe opportunity, now is our chance. Let us come together, dream, imagine, create, and produce something amazing for the world to know who we are, what we believe, and what we have to say.
Incorporated in this conference will be leadership and social media training and concise knowledge enrichment, all for the purpose of maximizing the quality of our video production as well as our own knowledge base.
With all of this to offer, we hope you will attend and will notify your friends about this opportunity. The conference will be held at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, on July 13-15, 2012. Plus, the registration fee has been dropped to $75. Space is extremely limited, so please register as soon as possible!

Oromia shall be Free!
Oromos are organized all over the world in different ways. We have many Oromo communities in different parts of the world. We have youth association, women’s association, sport federation, etc.
These organizations are very important in nation building project. There are some external as well as internal enemies who want to destroy these oromo civic and political organizations which oromos built for years. Every proud oromo should protect oromo associations and organizations from being affected by our enemies.
oromia shall be free!!!

We oromo in kenya live in freedom than oromos in Ethiopian.We perceive oromos in Ethiopia filled up with fear,why you do not enter in to the Bush.
We oromo in kenya we do know the Bush in oromia.
Especially those of you called yourslves oromian youth ,the activism for liberating yourslf and your country is very feeble.Forum without struggle is meaningless.
Minnesota ,The USA is not your country and go back to oromia!
