Event: International Youth Symposium 29 October – 2 November

August 24, 2007

Entitled, “Youth Participation and Empowerment – Getting Beyond the Rhetoric and Slogans”, this international symposium seeks to bring together young people and youth policy and programme designers to share experiences, ideas and aspirations and to identify what motivates and sustains successful youth-designed and youth-led actions.

This Symposium seeks a balance of 75% youth activists (ages 15-30) and 25% youth policy and programme makers. The focus of the Symposium is to listen to the experiences and ideas of young people who have stepped up and have made a significant impact on their societies through their actions.
