There is an upcoming Regional Consultation on Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) organized by the Commonwealth Secretariat. The Meeting is scheduled for 30th July – 3rd August, 2012 in Kampala, Uganda.

The overall objective of the meeting is to build consensus towards the establishment of a Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) as mandated by Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2011 in Perth, Australia. The meeting will also build youth leadership capacity and facilitate experience sharing on the work of NYCs. The conference will also create a platform for discussions on and development of strategies for promotion of NYCs in the Commonwealth.

The meeting participants will be drawn from Commonwealth member countries, representatives of the National Youth Councils, Ministries responsible for Youth Affairs, YOUNG PEOPLE, UN agencies and key development partners. The three days meeting is expected to bring together a total of about 60 international participants.

CYP therefore is seeking applications from two (2) young people on our Facebook group page (www./cypafrica/). If picked, CYP will support the nominated participant with a return ticket, accommodation, meals and local transport during the period of the meeting in Kampala, Uganda.
