Telecom service provider Uninor, a joint venture of Telenor, is looking for two participants with the best ideas to represent India at the first Telenor Youth Summit in December at Oslo, Norway.
Announcing call for entries from Indian youth, Uninor said young people between the age of 18 and 25 are invited to share an idea based on the mobile phone technology that addresses a major social issue in India.
The contest is now live on Uninor’s facebook pagewww.facebook.com/uninorindia.
Indians can submit their entry till 15 October, 2013.
Telenor Youth Summit, which will be hosted by the group’s president and CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas, coincides with the Nobel Peace Prize event.
Being conducted in partnership with the Nobel Peace Centre, the focus of the summit will be to develop and define ideas to solve social challenges by using mobile communication technology.
Uninor has also tied-up with the student organization AIESEC as a partner for the idea hunt in India. Additionally, two best ideas from AIESEC members will also get an assured entry into the final round of the contest.
The company said the Summit will comprise a 3-day program in Oslo of collaborative workshops, inspire sessions and social activities. The outcome of the summit will be a video presenting the participants ideas – as a digital bouquet of ideas, which will then be presented to the Nobel Peace Center and used as an input for an exhibition at the Peace Center called Social Media and Democracy in May 2014.
In addition, the ideas will also be presented at the global telecoms event – the Mobile World Congress in 2014.
