We would like to start this week with a huge thank you to everyone who completed the Ideas for Action Participant Survey!  We were delighted to receive over 250 responses from more than 50 countries.  We are currently analyzing the data as we prepare to launch the 2019 application portal, and taking your input closely into account.  This feedback will also be used throughout the year as we seek to continuously provide greater support to all of our participants.

This week, we have added two interesting and valuable posts to our blog.  First, we broke down the data from all 2,100 I4A proposals from 2018 and have come up with the
top five issues our judges identified in the proposals, as well as advice on how to best address these issues moving forward.  We highly recommend that all 2018 participants and prospective 2019 applicants take the time to read this article and consider how they can improve their ideas and proposals moving forward.

Our second blog post takes us back to the UN Youth Assembly, this time through the eyes of French delegate Théo Maret.  Théo gives an
insider's account of the design thinking session led by the Ideas for Action team.  Finally, we are thrilled to promote a competition from our partners at Knowledge@Wharton High School.  If you know any high school students who are interested in learning more about investing, please encourage them to register for the KWHS Investment Challenge, a FREE global initiative for high school students everywhere.  Please note: registration closes 9/16!

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, & LinkedIn, and keep an eye out for more exciting announcements coming in the next few weeks.

Thank you!
