“This year’s conference coincides with 50 years of the Youth Programme at the Commonwealth Secretariat and 2023 is being celebrated as the Year of the Youth. We see young people as strong assets to ensure a better future for the planet and they deserve comprehensive support to help them reach their full potential. We are therefore happy to partner with the NYA to highlight the transformative power of youth work." Layne Robinson, Commonwealth Secretariat
