The Youth Café in collaboration with the European Partnership for Democracy, and Youth Democracy Cohort, is proud to present a webinar titled " Young People Redefining the Future of Democratic Processes in Africa." This 90-minute webinar aims to explore how young people especially young women, can take an active and meaningful role in shaping the democratic processes in Africa. This webinar is part of a broader project “The Ignite African Youth Project!” and is in line with the commemoration of International Youth Day 2023. By empowering young people in decision-making processes at both the community and national levels, we can guarantee that their voices and ideas are heard and that they have a say in shaping policies and initiatives related to sustainability and environmental protection.
