Dear everyone,
Today the sun is shining in more than one way as we are excited to present to you the YEC Special Edition Newsletter – yay!
Amongst other exciting content, it contains a presentation of the Youth Engagement Committee (YEC) members, their values and dreams for the future and the YEC Action Plan. Check it out for yourself!
Youth engagement means strengthening the generation of tomorrow, continuing democratic values, building leadership and decision-making skills, celebrating successes and overcoming challenging experiences together – and meanwhile realizing that we have a lot more in common than we think.
Having a passionate committee of young people like the YEC is one of the most valuable assets for an organization like ours.
As ICYE’s Secretary General Anja Stuckert writes in the opening: “Being a youth organisation, young people’s voices are vital to shape the future of international volunteering, as they have the power to reimagine the world and the passion to promote change.”
So, what are you waiting for? Give it a warm welcome and enjoy!
P.S. You can read the previous issues below as well 🙂
