Across the world, young people are under-represented, both as elected representatives in parliaments and in the policy debates that impact youth. INTER PARES aims to collect and share knowledge and innovation on parliamentary practices that can help bridge this gap, with a focus on enabling young people to engage with the day to day work of parliaments.
This launch event will introduce the INTER PARES e-learning course on Youth Participation: Pathways for Parliaments. The course serves as a building block for INTER PARES’ ongoing work on parliaments and youth under the WYDE initiative, which will be outlined in brief.
We are joined by representatives from two parliaments at the forefront of youth participation — the Houses of the Oireachtas in Ireland and the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago, who will share their institution’s steps towards engaging youth in the work of parliament.
You are warmly invited to join us for this event — kindly complete the registration form below! In case of any questions, please contact Lotte at l.geunis@idea.int.
