Through Iraq's younger generation, NYOI celebrates the country's culture, unity, and wonderful diversity.

Zuhal Sultan
The National Youth Orchestra of Iraq (NYOI) is an initiative to establish the first permanent youth orchestra in Iraq, consisting of young musicians aged 14-29 from various regions of Iraq.
Through Iraq's younger generation, NYOI celebrates the country's culture, unity, and wonderful diversity. The idea for the project has come from Zuhal Sultan – a young Iraqi pianist – who believes that music has the power to unite people from all walks of life and bring much needed hope for the future to a region that has been torn apart by war.
Speaker Selection and Criteria
For each eCampaigning Forum, the aim is to have speakers who can demonstrate cutting-edge campaigning via interactive media. Generally this is one working in an established NGO and one working outside an 'established' NGO structure. Since may event participants return each year, a speaker also can't be from the same organisation as the previous year.
Any speaker needs to:
- Relate directly to e-campaigning
- Be useful for most of the ECF participants
- Challenge ECF participants to think beyond their current activities
- Have recent/current examples thay can use to demonstrate their points
- Be different from each other (e.g. not both from the same type of organisation / country / sector)
- Can use current examples (in last 6-12 months)
From Last Year
