The Youth Cafe’ will host a podcast on Youth and women's political and civic engagement in Africa. The podcast will be interactive, and it will take the format of a panel. TYC participated in the pre-summit Global Coalition Forum in Brussels, Belgium, by giving significant input in developing The Menu Of Possible Commitments to help prioritize, facilitate and enhance youth civic and political participation.

In collaboration with International Republican Institute, The Youth Café is working to have the drafted Kenya Youth Manifesto 2022 validated by a selected youth jury. The legitimacy of the youth jury process and the validity of its recommendations is critically contingent upon the extent to which youth jurors are representative of the broader community, as the purpose of the youth jury is to discuss issues of cultural diversity from the perspective of young people. The salient demographic features are the applicants' lineage, educational background, gender, and socio-economic status.

Over the course of the past year, the Open Think Tank Network members - Agora, foraus, Polis180, and Ponto in cooperation with The Youth Café and over 100 participants from across the globe rehearsed an innovative approach to democratize strategic foresight with a focus on migration policy. On Monday, December 13, 2021, 6pm to 8pm CET, we will launch our two project results: a visionary podcast series and a publication detailing the process and the underlying methodology, along with crowd-sourced policy recommendations!
