If you are an organisation interested in having us organise similar learning events for your teams and/or partners, feel free to get in touch - we'd love to hear from you!

We will continue to meet virtually as a group over the coming months as we aim to implement this learning in our work and our lives.

We spent time exploring how power manifests in our lives and our work, and ways that we can proactively shift and share power in our relationships, organisations and communities.

We are so excited to see the positive change they will lead across the region and cannot wait to go on this journey with them every step of the way 🧡

#YALA #SRHR #YouthLeadership #SexualHealth #YouthAdvocacy #BetheChange

Over the next 18 months, they will advocate for specific policy changes to improve access to #SRHR information and services for young people, including:

🏫 Age-appropriate sex education in schools

💊 Youth-friendly access to contraceptives

👩‍⚕️ Sexual health counselling and support

These young leaders have now returned to their home countries and, with the support of Amref Uganda, Kenya Red Cross, Plan Ethiopia, Rhass and Space South Sudan, they are forming peer groups and preparing #InteractiveTheatre performances designed to catalyse action towards #SRHR policy change.

The training built trust and cooperation within the group, took a deep dive into the specific #SRHR policy challenges facing their countries and communities, and guided them through the process of developing original pieces of #InteractiveTheatre for advocacy based on their own lived experiences.
