The Youth Forum will feature a panel of UPP Candidates who will make presentations and policy announcements about youth development, housing, jobs, entrepreneurship, education, sports and other issues. Youth delegates from all 16 constituencies will have an opportunity to contribute their ideas and provide feedback on the UPP’s plans and programs. Guest moderators of the forum will be J’Truth, social media influencer and Chandera Codrington, attorney-at-law.
“The future of our nation is defined by the youth. They are some of our nation’s greatest assets and we want to ensure that they have a seat at the table to increase youth participation in governance,” said Jamale Pringle, Leader of the Opposition.
Youth engagement is high on the UPP agenda and the panel of candidates will create user-friendly pathways to speak directly to the youth on issues that this demographic cares deeply about. According to UPP Political Leader, Harold Lovell, the UPP wants to create a better future for Antiguans and Barbudans of all generations.
“This forum provides a key opportunity to harness the energy of our youth in the development of our nation. We need more intergenerational connections, conversations and collaboration to build the new inclusive Antigua and Barbuda that we envision for ourselves and generations to come.” Lovell said.
