Project VOCAL: The Truth Behind Youth Taking Grassroots Action
The Truth Behind Youth Taking Grassroots Action
Program Description:
In order to allow our youth community to gain better insights on advocacy work in the policymaking sphere, one must understand the bottom-up and top-down approach within this field, especially from the grassroots perspective. This dialogue workshop will include the VOCALists and IGEM Visitors (as program participants) and session speakers (VOCAL advisors and ambassadors, as well as field experts), whereby an interactive dialogue will be designed to empower young people to understand the depth of collective action from the grassroots level.
In this session, you will learn about and be exposed to:
- The different grassroots-level work in advocacy that can spark a local/national movement, and influence policy-making.
- How youths can contribute and support social, economic, and climate/environmental advocacy efforts at grassroots level, regardless of backgrounds.
- How youth can get involved in grassroots work today, and the ways in which youth can use their voice in supporting causes they care about.
- Learn about the importance of grassroots advocacy and its outcomes that may influence social, economic, and climate/environmental actions, solutions, and policies.
