3rd SEA Youth Forum | 2-5 September 2024 | Bali, Indonesia
Background:
Youth play an essential role in all Southeast Asian (SEA) National Societies volunteer activities, as they possess the requisite knowledge and skills to effectively champion and implement the National Societies missions and mandates. Our regional youth leaders need to be involved in decision-making processes at both implementation and strategic levels. The Phnom Penh call for action underscores a collective commitment among SEA National Society leadership and youth to foster youth activities and participation, with the 2024 Youth Leaders aiming to advance this agenda by formulating a youth statement building upon past outcomes. The upcoming Youth Forum in Bali, hosted by the Indonesian Red Cross Society (PMI), will center its thematic focus on two issues: the integration of youth into the policy and strategy levels, and Youth in Climate Action. The aim is to make National Societies more resilient and sustainable through the integration of youthful innovation and perspectives, as well as empowering and mobilising young leaders to drive impactful change in addressing climate challenges within the region.

- Explore the topic of Climate Resilience, Mental Health, and Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI)
