“What I really like about today is the theme, ‘Youth Voice in Youth Matters’ … I am really happy that we are able to have our say in this matter [National Youth Policy]” – a Youth Initiative (YI) participant remarked.

Day 1 of YI began with a discussion on the historical background of the Youth Policy and building interpersonal relationships and a sense of shared purpose. A strong group dynamic goes hand-in-hand with the purpose of achieving effective solutions.
