What are youth saying?

Module 4 of the YOURS Academy is a great way to learn about or review the cocnepts of MYP and is sure to motivate anyone to start, or continue, involving youth in decision-making spaces.If you weren’t already convinced that Meaningful Youth Participation can, and should, be present at all levels and stages of decision-making, then this module is a must-do.


Alison Collard De Beafort
Youth Leadership Board, Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety
As one of youth leaders that supported the review of this module, I can testify that it is very interactive,
insightful, and youthful in the way it has been designed. This module is very timely as it provides young leaders with insight on what MYP is and what it is not to better position themselves to claim their space at decision making tables and hold their leaders accountable.
