Youth are no longer the subject of the conversations. We are now leading those conversations.”—Emmanuel Osaho, Executive Director, SLUM to STAGE.

Emmanuel uses performing and creative arts to develop the social, behavioral and emotional skills of young people.

He says being a young person today is interesting because people believe we have the knowledge for important conversations.

And now, we’re not just being talked about, we are leading.

What does being a young person in today’s world mean to you? Tell us in the comments.

What makes youth engagement meaningful?

It’s not just about having young people in the room. A seat at the table isn’t enough. We need a say in what happens at the table.

Meaningful engagement means young people can shape the conversation, speak and be listened to, influence decisions and see the results.

So we want to hear from you.
What’s ONE thing you think makes youth engagement meaningful?

Dereloke Derafaka, Co-Chair of the Youth Advisory Committee to the Netherlands Embassy Abuja, tells us how youths can have real decision making power.

He tells us it’s about involvement in the whole process. From developing the policy to implementation to reporting back.

A full value chain where youth are heard, involved, and influential.

What’s one way you think youth should be involved in decisions that affect them?

Being in the room is one thing. Being part of the decision is another.

We’ve attended panels, joined committees and shared ideas. But what happened after?

Meaningful youth engagement means our voices don’t end at the microphone. It means being heard, involved, and influential. It means every young person, in every context, has space.

So we’re asking; What’s ONE thing that would make youth engagement meaningful for you? Tell us in the comments.

Precious Akintunde is a Climate-Health Scientist and Youth Activators Lab Fellow pushing for climate action that starts with people.

For him, climate change became personal when the rains failed and his family’s maize garden was lost. That’s when he realized climate change isn’t just a global conversation, it affects food, health, and homes.

He believes young people can start small, reduce waste, conserve energy and plant something.

His role for youth in policy is advocacy, action and representation.

What does a climate-resilient future look like to you?

Princess Ode, a member of the European Union Youth Sounding Board tells us what it means to be a youth.

For her, being a youth means “looking forward to the possibilities that exist.” It means playing her role to ensure that “the voices that need to be heard are actually being heard.”

Young people are showing up, speaking up, and building the future.

What does being a young person in today’s world mean to you?

Adeyemi Temilade is a Product Manager and Youth Activators Lab Fellow pushing for tech that serves real people. She says being young in tech means asking “Can we build a better way?” and having the responsibility to create solutions that genuinely improve lives.

For her, technology showed its power in women’s health, where digital tools can make support more accessible. But she also reminds us that tech isn’t one-size-fits-all. We must design around people’s real lives and circumstances.

If she could use technology to solve one problem for young people in Nigeria? Unemployment. By connecting youth to jobs, skills, and opportunities.

What does a better future in tech look like to you?

NGYouthSDGs was represented by Morenikejimi O. | SGBV Survivor Advocate | Impact Changemaker🏅 at the Youth Pulse Dialogue hosted by Netherlands in Nigeria and YAC Abuja.

From the launch of the Youth at a Crossroads policy brief to honest conversations on youth priorities, the message remains that Nigerian youth are at the heart of national development.

What policy area should be prioritized for youth right now? Tell us in the comments.

Yesterday at Impact Hub Lagos for the International Youth Day Conference.

Youth Empowerment for a Sustainable Future wasn’t just the theme. It was the assignment.

We heard young people talk governance, jobs, entrepreneurship, and what’s actually stopping us.
Then we moved to solutions, commitments and to action.

This is how we build what’s next, together.

Happy International Youth Day!🎉
