Each symposium will strive to create a space for leading experts and young people to identify and discuss goals, strategies and required paradigm shifts, in a collective, systematic and inclusive manner. The symposium series will address participants’ engagement with youth and youth issues and focus on the following key strategic issues:

• What works and what doesn’t in different contexts, and why;
• How the different disciplines, sectors and themes intersect.

Areas of interest include: youth in conflict-affected areas, youth and rights, political participation of youth, youth and transitional justice, youth and public health, youth and gender, youth and civil society.
