Voices from the Field: Youth Engagement Perspectives from Albania & Myanmar

2:00 - 3:00 pm, Tuesday October 24, 2017

National Democratic Institute, 455 Massachusetts Ave. NW, 8th Floor

The Citizen Participation Team invites you to join us for a discussion
featuring:

Zin Min Thu

Program Officer, NDI

Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar

Gasper Gjeluci

Senior Program Officer, NDI

Tirana, Albania

Rachel E Mims

Program Officer, Youth Political Participation

Moderator

Gasper and Zin will share their experiences working on youth political
participation and discuss the roles young people are playing in Albania and
Myanmar. Both bring first-hand perspectives on the barriers to
participation that young women and men encounter and what can be done to
help youth overcome them. The discussion will be framed by NDI’s theory of
change, which unifies the different factors that combine to foster
meaningful, sustained youth political participation.

NDI would like to thank Google for funding Gasper and Zin’s visit to DC and
their participation in the University of Virginia’s Youth-Nex Conference
(October 26-27), where they also will present lessons from their youth
political participation work.
