Youth: The Driving Force of Change
RAN was invited by the UN Association Albania to mentor six young individuals on their advocacy initiatives concerning youth participation in politics, the sovereign fund for energy, and sustainable tourism. Together, we explored various lessons related to these three topics and their associated advocacy strategies, such as the importance of thinking big while acting small, effectively pitching innovative solutions to the right stakeholders, understanding the nonlinear advocacy cycle, and accurately defining the problems at hand.
We were inspired by the power and creative ideas of young people, recognizing that they are essential to driving change. It is crucial to support them, as they represent the backbone of progress. We wish Diogjen, Linda, Xheni, Esmeralda, and Klea a rewarding journey of discovery in the pursuit of public good.
