ICN Youth Delegation

ICN Youth Delegates poster

Each year, the Inter-Council Network Youth Delegates, comprised of eight delegates representing the eight provincial and regional councils, attend multilateral spaces and conventions to meet with policymakers and international changemakers. Due to the pandemic, this plan had to be changed, and the Delegation instead attended a Youth Forum at the Senate of Canada in Ottawa on March 9-10. As opportunities to engage in addressing society increasingly moved online, the ICN Youth Delegation initiative was reimagined as a granting program to facilitate youth and public engagement in 2021. As post-pandemic events moved to in-person, the ICN Youth Delegates for 2023 and 2024 were able to travel to New York City to attend the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations Headquarters.

The active involvement of youth in international forums is key to building a brighter future. Youth bring their fresh perspectives and innovative thinking, which inspire collaboration and drive change. Their long-term commitment ensures the sustainability of these goals, while their adaptability and resilience help us navigate the complex challenges of our time. By empowering and including young people, we unlock the full potential of the SDGs, bringing us closer to a more equitable, environmentally responsible, and prosperous world for all.
