Youth are a crucial part of a country’s political future. As tomorrow’s leaders it is important that they be educated and engaged early on in the democratic process.
Join us for a roundtable discussion on engaging the future electorate. The conversation will begin with a brief presentation on IFES’ youth initiatives in the Philippines and Afghanistan. Participants from attending organizations will then be invited to share their own experiences working with young people and increasing their participation in democratic processes.
IFES Participants:
Beverly Hagerdon Thakur, IFES Country Director, Philippines
Mary Lou Schramm, IFES Project Director, Afghanistan
Moderated by Vasu Mohan, IFES Deputy Director, Europe and Asia
This event is by invitation only.
