I am honoured to have been selected to attend the CIVICUS Youth Assembly. The theme of this year's Assembly is People, Participation and Power. I will publish more about the event and my attendence in June when the Assembly is taking place.

About the CIVICUS Youth Assembly

The CIVICUS Youth Assembly will offer young delegates a program and a space to develop and commit to action internationally. The theme of participation in civil society will be explored over the course of the event and delegates will learn about issues that effect billions of people worldwide.

The programme will develop not only delegates knowledge, but also build personal capacity through a series of workshops and skills development sessions. Participation is key and all delegates will be fully engaged in a programme of full participation.In attending the Youth Assembly delegates will also go on to participate, as full delegates, in the CIVICUS World Assembly where they will have a voice and opportunity to meet and influence some of the world's leading NGOs, groups and individuals who are committed to the creation of a more just and equitable world.
