Join us for an interactive webinar to hear how youth leaders are building back better during these turbulent times.

The world has more young people today than ever and this will only increase. They have a critical role to play in shaping the future of our people and planet.

Sport for development and peace (SDP) programmes and policies often work with young people, but youth need to be more meaningfully involved in decision-making and leadership roles.

Given this, sportanddev, in collaboration with the Commonwealth, launched a call for articles on youth engagement and leadership in SDP in the lead up to International Youth Day on 12 August.

To further this conversation, we will be hosting a webinar on the topic, where we will hear directly from young leaders on how they are using sport to build back better
