South
Asian Conference on
Youth
& Democracy
Date: August 12-152007
Place: Pune, India
The role of young people is immense and vitally important in
any democracy. As India and Pakistan completes the celebration of sixty years
of independence on 15th August, the Centre for Youth Development and
Activities (CYDA) in association with like-minded organizations intend to
organize a 3-day international conference on “Youth & Democracy in South
Asia”.
The objective of conference is to bring together, young people, youth activists and academicians
from different walks of life and deliberate on concerns and issues of democracy
in the context of young people.
Today youth become mere spectators in the processes of
development in almost all South Asian countries. Youth in leadership is almost
vanishing and awareness as well as attitude towards civic engagement is
disappearing. The expected outcome is increased involvement of youth in
decision-making roles in democracies they represent. If the democracies to function effectively youth shall
become participants and a participant youth shall understand the meaning of
citizenship, polices and governance and have the acquired skills to voice their
concerns and ability to make system accountable.
The Conference will aim at discussing various dimensions
that youth can and must play not only on issues that concern them but also in
the formulations of policies that affect them. Youth as well as academicians from South Asian countries as
well as a few Asia Pacific regions are invited to participate. The conference
will be inaugurated on International Youth Day, 12th August and will
end on 15 August 2007.
