Youth Voices

With Youth Voices, we’ve invited youths from different parts of the world to share their ideas, concerns, and their hopes through videos they’ve directed and filmed.

Young people are often at the forefront of democracy activism, projecting their visions for democracy and demanding the protection of freedoms and more inclusive governance.  Their voices need to be heard and represented in efforts for building vibrant and sustainable democracy, so that democratic institutions can remain vibrant as leadership is passed to new generations. Here are such voices from participants in the World Movement for Democracy.
