Critical Engagement: Youth and Local Governance

We had the opportunity to join the city executive branch during their Strategic planning sessions held in Marco Hotel, Cugman of this city.


In a nutshell:

That was one great conversation with the city leadership. The city mayor as well as the city administrator emphasized the need to develop a successor generation political leadership program that allows promising young leaders to sit in actual councils and hold actual responsibilities. And the push for a youth development council has finally made a great leap today with the earnest support of the City Social Welfare office head. We finally see great hope in youth participation in local governance. From Hapsay Dalan engagement to actual policy-making.
