MCP'S FOREWORDIt's an incredible feeling to be leading the 16/17 term 4 years after my first
July National Conference as a OGX TL. I remember the MCP 12/13 Evelyn
Pau (from Melbourne Uni) opening the conference with excitement and
passion for an entity that had big dreams, great people but could do so much
more. An entity that was great back in the day but was not taken seriously in
the global plenary. In that term, that entity grew from 250+ to almost 400
exchanges and started a pathway of growth and relevance year after year.
It was amazing to know that it wasn't just me, an 18 year old Usyd kid, who
wanted to do something impactful for the world. There were 300 delegates
there, from 14 universities chanting and showing their LC pride and
determination to make an impact in their own campuses. Each delegate there
represented the tens
of young people that they would help discover their potential for change
through a lifechanging exchange experience. And that to me was incredible!
To this day I will never forget that first JulyCon always reminding me that it is
through these touchpoints where you can visualise the true potential of a
bunch of crazy young people striving to achieve Peace and Fulfilment of
Humankind's potential. I believe in the power of young people, and the power
of you all that will be joining us at QCon 2016 this July. Together, we come
from all walks of life to channel our ambition towards a better Australia an
Australia that is a model international citizen for the world.
Changing the world starts with changing Australia and changing Australia
starts from changing you. I can't wait to meet you all, and see what ideas you
bring to the table! See you there!
