Youth Institute for Multiparty Democracy

Partnershipday

as part of the NIMD Partnershipdays

Thursday September 13^th 2007

Cooperation - Democracy - Youth - Partners - Future

To:

Chairs / International Secretaries of Netherlands PYOs

The future of developing democracies depends crucially on the contribution of countries’ young people to the advancement of their institutions and ideals. The YIMD Partnershipday, will provide a platform for young politicians from Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania to share experiences and views with members of PYOs from the Netherlands. Special attention will be given to issues of participation campaigns, the position of youth wings in political parties, and the future of political youth in our countries. The programme will be moderated by Jeroen de Veth.

YIMD invites up to two board members or their representatives of the political youth organizations in the Netherlands to attend the seminar. In addition, all the YIMD members or a substitute are invited to participate. There is also a limited amount of places for other interested PJO members. You are kindly asked to inform YIMD if you want to participate.

We hope to welcome you at this seminar. Your presence will enable young politicians from both Africa and the Netherlands to learn from each other and better understand each others’ situation.

Kind regards,

On behalf of YIMD,
