YouthCamps connect youth who have goals and ideas for a more open society, with youth wishing to contribute to these goals in collaborative, inspirational projects. These collaborations empower youth to become active citizens willing and able to influence public life, and they promote open society ideals.
The YouthCamp Format
YouthCamps gather people to share and learn in an open environment, through discussions, demonstrations, and interactions with attendees. The participatory structure of these camps, with attendee-proposed agendas and open discussions, gives everyone a voice and encourages active participation.
Who Is Invited?
YouthCamps are inclusive, and everyone seeking to engage youth in the effort to promote open society ideals are encouraged to attend. Representatives of youth-driven projects and initiatives looking for support, and an opportunity to network with others, are particularly welcome and encouraged to attend.
Space is limited, however, so please register early.
The event is sponsored by the Open Society Institute Youth Initiative and the International Debate Education Association. For more information, please visit the YouthCamp website.
