The Mandela Institute for Development Studies (MINDS) is pleased to announce the dates for its 2015 annual African Youth Dialogue on Elections and Governance to be held in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe on the 7th and 8th of August 2015.
The aim of the Youth Dialogues is to foster the increase in the number of young people peacefully and actively participating in African elections and governance processes based on an appreciation of the significance of their demographic superiority. It is therefore a useful platform through which African youth have an opportunity to interact as they interrogate and deepen the understanding of issues of mutual interest pertaining to the development and transformation of the Continent. Participants will be drawn from all regions of Africa (North, West, Central, East and Southern Africa) using set criteria.
MINDS is interested in identifying participants doing significant work in the respective countries and communities. To encourage networking and full participation, only 100 youths will be accepted to the dialogue.
MINDS will meet all the direct costs of participation in the dialogue.
Applications close at 5pm (CAT) on Friday the 29th of May. Late applications will not be considered.
Download, complete and return application form to dialogues@minds-africa.org before closing date. Please indicate your region and country in the subject space of the email e.g. West Africa: Nigeria or East Africa: Kenya etc.
