       It is, therefore, the ideal forum for contacts, exchanges of experiences and
business opportunities for all those who work either as technicians or businessmen in
the fields of mineral exploitation, oil, applied computer science, equipment,
laboratories, consultants, universities, and similar institutions. It is also the ideal
setting for Geological Surveys from the five continents to display their most recent
products, thereby establishing a link with the themes of the 31st IGC.
Youth Congress

       The Organizing Committee is preparing special activities for the young people.
Adolescents 12-18 aged, interested in geology, will have a great opportunity at the 31
st IGC to extend their knowledge of earth sciences. In addition to their contact with
Brazilian teachers and professional people, concerned with the dissemination of the
scientific knowledge among the public, these teenagers will be closely associated
with interesting aspects of the culture and history of the Brazilian people. They will
visit museums, laboratories, institutions and companies, as the most exciting and
exotic geological environments.
       The Geological Survey of the Brazil and Brazilian universities will be
organizing interesting, geology-orientated tourist trips to fill the time of these young
people who, in addition to specific information, will be able to observe the various
features of our physical environment and that can provide different landscapes of
extraordinary beauty, the conservation of which will depend only upon our own
conscience.
       These activities will be carried out by young voluntary Brazilian students of
geological department and will enable integration and an exchange of experiences
between participants of the same ages.
       Young people will have special session "Education for Truly, Sustainable
Development" by Prof. William S. Fyfe, Department of Earth Sciences, University of
Western Ontario, Canada; Field Trip-City of Rio de Janeiro - Geology-orientated
tourism, for evaluation and analysis of the progressive development of geology and
geomorphology.
