The Alliance of Youth Movements Summit will take place December 3 to 5 at the Columbia Law School in New York City. The event will also be streamed live online by Howcast.com and MTV.com.

Howcast Media is organizing the Summit with additional support from Facebook, Google, YouTube, MTV, Columbia Law School, the U.S. Department of State and Access 360 Media.
Speakers at the Summit will include:

- Whoopi Goldberg, Host of ABC’s “The View”

-James K. Glassman, Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, U.S. Department of State
-Oscar Morales, Founder, One Million Voices Against the FARC

Panels will discuss a variety of practical topics, including How To Build Transnational Social Movements Using New Technology, How To Use New Mobile Technologies and How To Preserve Group Safety And Security.

Summit participants will also be honored at a red-carpet event with entertainment celebrities, business leaders, and civil society figures at the former home of MTV’s Total Request Live (“TRL”) overlooking Times Square.

Howcast will use the field manual for youth empowerment developed at the Summit as the cornerstone of a much larger online “hub,” where emerging youth organizations can access and share “how-to” guides and tips on how to use social-networking and other technologies to promote freedom and justice and counter violence, extremism and oppression. The hub will include instructional videos and text guides, links to related online resources and discussion forums for sharing experiences, ideas and advice.
