  • Unpack the impediments faced by young people in participating in political spaces – Understand the role of young people as economic actors
  • Engage around the current legislative framework in regard to youth eligibility for political office
  • Engage in the role of political parties, business, and civil society in promoting capable, young people into positions of leadership
  • Understand the importance of getting the communication right
