Session Details

In this session on Global Youth Solidarity, we come together to listen to the stories of young people whose lives and education have been affected by conflict. They will share their experiences and perspectives on the challenges they and their peers face. As a community, we will reflect on how we can support and stand in solidarity with them and their communities. This session will provide an opportunity for us to explore ways to build global youth solidarity and take action to create a more inclusive and equitable world for all young people.
