Pulitzer Center photographer Dominic Bracco will speak to high school students from U.S. and Mexico about his project Los Ninis: Mexico's Lost Generation at WorldLink's 15th Annual Youth Town Meeting. Bracco's presentation will focus on the struggle of youth in Ciudad Juarez who are lured into working for drug cartels as a result of poverty, unemployment and violence that have engulfed their city.
A unique educational program, WorldLink engages youth from the greater San Diego area in global affairs by providing them opportunities to meet world leaders and experts. Each year, WorldLink holds the Annual Youth Town Meeting, bringing together students from San Diego County, Baja California and around the world to the University of San Diego's campus for a one-day discussion on various international issues. The theme of this year's meeting is "The Right to be Human" and participants will look at the recognition of human rights and its correlation to culture and identity, disabilities, displacement, responsible business and international justice.
