We're fighting to educate, engage, and empower the youth in the public affairs processes. The Centre aims to promote respect for the electoral process universally, in a non-politicised manner and in accordance with international and federal laws. In times of democratic instability, we believe the only way to guarantee a secure tomorrow is by engaging the youth of today in government.
Electoral rights, though a central principle of every democracy, are neglected globally. Especially amongst the youth. From rural areas in the Americas to the villages in Somalia, our team has first-hand experience in understanding the lack of civic education programmes, consequently resulting in a lack of engagement.
To boost engagement, the Centre focuses on empowering the youth of today by:
-
working with governments on the provincial and national level to propose & enact policies which represent youth beliefs;
-
facilitating global dialogue efforts, discussing youth issues with seasoned policymakers in hopes of empowering younger voices; and
-
working within human rights reporting mechanisms to demand international compliance for the participation of youth in public affairs.
