Youth For Change Carnival
动力青年嘉年华根据大马选委会在2006
年发布的统计数字，在48
万符合资格的选民中，大约有超过70%
年龄介于21
到35
岁的人士尚未登记。然而，随着国内政治气候的变化，年轻一代已开始关注政经文教领域所发生的事件，从而建立起对人权、个人安全和环境保护的强烈意识。选民登记是作为合法公民所应履行的责任，同时也能加强社会的民主建设与发展。然而选民登记的程序与步骤对许多年轻人来说是相当乏味和沉闷的，因而让他们产生抗拒的心态。“动力青年嘉年华”将尝试以更具创意和趣味的方式改变年轻朋友们对选民登记活动所持有的刻板印象。
“动力青年嘉年华”将邀请多位本地的音乐人与团体参与其盛，其中包括来自马六甲的创作型歌手IKA
、作品在日本颇受欢迎的电子音乐人“司徒毅城”以及Bittersweet
、Liyana Fizi
、Couple
、Robot Asmara
、RezaSalleh
和Seven Collar T-Shirt
等国内著名的独立乐团。另外，由三位年轻学院生所组成的Sound Rhythm Beatbox
将会在当日为大家展现精彩绝伦的Beatbox
技巧。除了上述的表演外，“动力青年嘉年华”也将增设创意市集和画展，来自艺术学院的学生和设计爱好者将展示风格多元和充满趣味的艺术作品，包括服装、模型、玩具和漫画等。而本地艺术单位FINDARS
的数位画家也将于当天展出他们一系列杰出的作品。同时，主办单位也邀请了最近在国内和釜山电影节获得佳评如潮的15MALAYSIA
导演们于现场播放他们的短片，并将在现场与观众们交流。而本地的多位艺人、著名部落客也将抽空出席，以实际行动响应这项活动。最後，电子音乐人Silent Keat
将在当晚为观众播放一连串节奏强劲和充满动感的舞曲，让出席者能透过音乐释放热情。“动力青年嘉年华”希望透过音乐、影像、时尚和创意去鼓励更多年轻人参与选民登记的活动，而不是政治。活动讯息

Youth For Change CarnivalA frequently cited statistic from 2006 stated that 70% of the 4.7 million Malaysians yet to register as voters are aged between 21 and 35 years.
At the same time, the young people of the Klang Valley are becoming increasingly concerned about social and political issues, from the environment to education, human rights to personal safety.
Registering to vote is an important step to entering adulthood and taking responsibility for the society in which we live in. Unfortunately, voter registration is usually a dull and boring affair, making it easier for the young to brush their duty aside. The Youth For Change Carnival aims to change that.
With performances by top Malaysian independent musicians such as Bittersweet, Couple, Liyana Fizi, Robot Asmara, Reza Salleh, Ika and many more, the Youth For Change Carnival aims to draw in thousands of youths from around the Klang Valley. At the carnival, those who have yet to register to vote will be able to do so easily at attractively designed booths, while standing a chance to win numerous prizes as well as freebies.
In addition to live music, the Youth For Change Carnival will also feature a mini flea market showcasing creative fashion and art by young designers. As part of the day's festivities, short films made by young Malaysian filmmakers will be screened, including the popular 15Malaysia shorts that have been a hit on the Internet. Popular young actors, musicians, artists and bloggers will also be meeting their fans at the carnival.
Above all, the aim of the Youth For Change Carnival is to bring the young people of the Klang Valley together to enjoy fun, healthy and creative day that will also leave them empowered. The purpose might be to attract the young to register to vote, but we plan to do it with music, movies and fashion, not politics.
