The 33^rd General Assembly of ICYE Federation took place in Accra, Ghana, in the period 13-17 November 2023.

47 participants from 35 countries gathered together for an unforgettable experience and many important discussions. Thank you to everyone who was there, we appreciate your enthusiasm and active participation!

Special thank you to ICYE Ghana for hosting the General Assembly and making it possible!

Highlights:

We have a new Board of Managers: Chairperson: Hester Kuijk Breitenmoser, Treasurer: Adeolu Onamade, Members: Rhenelyn Queen Dadulo and Mariela Ortiz Suarez. We also decided on the Sub-Committees in the Federation that will work on our priorities for the next 2 years.

One of the decisions was also to establish a Youth Engagement Committee that will empower young people in the Federation to be more vocal about their views and be more active on different levels. The Youth Engagement Committee will encourage intergenerational collaboration and transmission of knowledge in all directions.

We left the GA inspired and motivated to continue our work together and we can’t wait to meet all of you again very soon!
