Youth recommendations

A global youth effort

10 regional youth dialogues took place over the course of November 2021. Youth joined from about 40 different countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, MENA and Latin America to discuss the challenges they face, their ideas for solutions and their recommendations for meaningful participation to achieve the goals of the Global Compact on Refugees. At the event, voices of young persons affected by forced displacement presented brief recommendations from these regional youth dialogues held in November. It was imperative that the voices of refugee and host community youth was heard, both in the lead up to and during the event – to ensure sustainable inclusion and meaningful participation of youth.
