SUPPORTING YOUTH-LED INITIATIVES

We also support several non-curricular initiatives, which seek to strategize, plan, carry out and evaluate different forms of youth-led organising and direct action.

Global Platform Kenya is a dynamic and inspiring environment where young people can think freely, develop their own ideas and connect, discuss and act on local, national and global political issues. We frequently organise or host debates, open mic sessions, coffee bars, movie nights, discussion forums, youth festivals and various campaign activities in our Nairobi and Mt. Kenya hubs.

 

YOUTH HUBS

Youth hubs are innovation and entrepreneurship development centers for young people. They serve as a mobile space and social laboratory, where young people can convene, be innovative, test new ways of organising (e.g. in social movements) and pursue youth political agendas.
