Organized by the OSI Youth Initiative, AfriCamp will focus on building the advocacy capacity of youth in analyzing and responding to issues that affect their communities.  Among the themes to be covered are:

  • youth and new media;
  • African Youth Charter; 
  • African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance.

The format includes a weeklong combination of presentations, training sessions and breakaway sessions for direct peer consultation for those working on similar issues or issues of interest. Training sessions will consist of outside facilitators procured by the OSI Youth Initiative as well as peer to peer trainings. The event will culminate with an afternoon-long advocacy concert featuring local artists.

All sessions will be in English and French.
