Latest in the series of Practice Parliaments for Youth kicks off paving way for young people to build their capacity and confidence to participate in democratic processes, become change makers in their communities and eventually, contest for elected positions.
This is the second batch for youth in the Practice Parliament series, organized by the People’s Majlis, in collaboration with UNDP, supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
Practice Parliament programme consists of two components; a training component where participants are informed on the fundamentals of civic education, key parliamentary processes, and relevant policy issues, followed by a Practice Parliament Sitting where they perform parliamentary proceedings.
This batch of Practice Parliament for Youth included sessions on the Challenges to the Provision of Drug Prevention and Rehabilitation Services; Impact of Corruption on Youth; Right to Information; and sessions on Social Cohesion and Youth Vulnerability Assessment.
The participants completed the programme with discussions on Human Rights and Gender Responsive Policy Making; Participatory, Inclusive and Evidence-based Law Making; and discussions on the Animal Health Bill.
