<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear UN interns,<BR>
<BR>
Internal Voices is a magazine created by UN interns for UN interns and all others interested in the theme. We are now getting prepared for the next issue, focusing on Rio+ 20. This is a great opportunity to get recognized, establish contacts with interesting organizations and people, and you also get something concrete to show of your internship at the UN! Furthermore, you get to be published online: <A HREF="http://www.it.internalvoices.org">http://www.it.internalvoices.org</A><BR>
<BR>
Want to get involved?<BR>
There are lots of ways to be involved.<BR>
(1) Write an article. Think about articles related to our theme of Rio +20, more specifically within the themes to be discussed at the summit (Jobs, Energy, Cities, Food, Water, Oceans, Disasters) and send us a proposal.<BR>
<BR>
***Make sure you read the Guidelines for contributors, attached***<BR>
<BR>
(2) Be creative. Contribute crosswords, cartoons, photos etc (see more ideas below).<BR>

<BR>
**These deadlines will not be extended due to the fact that the issue is to be published before the Rio +20 Summit**<BR>
<BR>
What should my proposal look like?<BR>
You just need to send us a few sentences by email explaining to us what you would like to write on. Do not forget to say who you are and where you are interning (office/agency & location).<BR>
