Well then... Write an article for our globally circulated annual magazine!
Specifically written or abridged research projects are ideal. No writing
experience needed, the U8 aim to give an accessible platform to your
research. This is your chance to get your findings out to students and our
partners across the World!
If you would like any of your research projects to be featured in the
U8 magazine please send their summaries to
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
.
Summaries should be one to two pages long, font size 11. The summary
should entail an introduction to the research you are doing, some
details on what you have found out so far and a good concluding
paragraph or two.
The following are the sub-themes we are proposing as guideline for
writers, but we are open to any other ideas you may have, so do not
feel limited by the sub- themes below:
A. Defining Global Partnerships
B. Role of Technology in Global Partnerships
C. Role of global partnerships in poverty and hunger alleviation
C. Role of global partnerships in gender equality
D. Role of global partnerships in health issues: Child mortality,
maternal health, disease.
E. Role of global partnerships in environmental sustainability
F. What next? What will be the future of MDG/ building global partnerships?
This is a great opportunity to hone your writing skills as you will be
writing for a magazine with a global circulation!
Best,
Ting (Editor)
