During the YOUNGA training, I learned communication engagement, advocating for youths rights, how to represent youths at an international level and how to become a great YOUNGA delegate.
I went into YOUNGA thinking I would be most inspired by the speakers and experts but to my surprise, I was more inspired by my fellow delegates. Everyone I met was so passionate about youth action and it was interesting to hear their advocacies.
As a delegate, I feel most empowered when I met peers who had the same mindset as me. I was able to share some things I learnt throughtout the sessions held by YOUNGA to my friends.
The working groups allowed me to experience change-making collaboratively by listening, and building recommendations with change-oriented delegates and felt like a leader, ready to work together in a domino effect of youth-driven action.
Education and work for Furture group because I have learnt how can I work for my Country my community to improve education system being a young delegate.
I really loved every meeting with the diverse young delegates, and learned a lot and it has inspired me to continue. I realized that if I can connect with more young people globally and continue to make a change.

Youth Delegate Testimonials
More Youth Delegate Testimonials
I loved how intimate we got with the VIP speakers. There wasn't one question left unanswered. I reaffirmed myself that anything and everything is achievable regardless of what social or economic or any other backgrounds we have!
Having the opportunity to listen to, learn from, network with creative minds across various age groups, continents and different works of life who are taking up and engaging in amazing and life-changing projects was the icing on the cake for me.
Events like YOUNGA are extremely valuable because it promotes the inclusion of our new generation into creating solutions. More importantly, it unites like-minded people together in a common space, and encourages continuous synergy and networking.
Feeling heard and seen through the powerful stories of various changemakers from across the world, the opportunity to interact with fellow delegates, and the most surprising outcome of a collaboration with other delegates to start our own initiative!
YOUNGA 2021 to me was more than amazing. I felt very inspired and uplifted when meeting delegates from around the world, discussing and co-creating solutions and realizing how youth like us can have an important role in community.
Even with only our screens, YOUNGA 2021 was surrounded by a community and environment that was full of change makers. I was able to see people who shared my desire for a brighter future, and it was reassuring to know that I wasn't alone.
