The Youth Summit is a new global initiative of Telenor Group envisaged as a place for exchange of ideas on the ways in which mobile technologies and Internet fuel growth and bring change.

All young people aged between 18 and 25 who submit up to 2-minute-long video file presenting ways in which technologies contribute to development of society can apply for the competition until September 30. A five-member expert jury will choose two best proposals based on innovativeness of the solution, authenticity, presentation and applicability of the idea.

“Young people are advocates of societal change. In the age of mobile communications, also an age of major and fast changes, young people play a special role and they should be given an opportunity to express their ideas. Telenor believes in young people, and we would like this competition to demonstrate that they also believe in themselves and that they are a real driving force of society,” Telenor PR representative Adrijana Husić said at the press conference organised to present this project.

fleka company Executive and Creative Director and a jury member Miloš Milošević has welcomed this Telenor’s initiative and invited young people to take part in the competition in large numbers. “This is another confirmation that mobile technologies are bringing people closer together and making the world of good ideas go round.”
