EDUCATION
Chairman: Hon. Bosio
01
When it comes to youth issues, education is essential for social mobility, economic empowerment, and personal growth. It includes not only official education but also unofficial and non-formal learning experiences that provide young people the values, information, and abilities they need to succeed in the fast-paced world of today. Youth education goes beyond academic success to include critical thinking, creativity, communication, and digital literacy skills that are necessary for overcoming obstacles and taking advantage of possibilities.
HEALTH
Chairman: Hon. Pantone
02
In order for young people to flourish and realize their full potential, mental, emotional, and social well-being are just as important as physical well-being in the context of youth work. It entails making certain that young people have access to high-quality healthcare services, health education, and preventive measures that specifically target their needs and difficulties. Furthermore, encouraging healthy habits, wholesome relationships, and resilience in young people goes beyond simply providing medical therapies. It also involves developing supportive settings.
ECONOMIC
Chairman: Hon. Caballero

EMPOWERMENT
In the youth sector, economic empowerment is a complex idea that includes giving young people the chances, resources, know-how, and means to become financially independent, self-sufficient, and prosperous. It consists of programs designed to improve young people's access to financial services, employment opportunities, education, and vocational training so they can follow their dreams and make a significant economic contribution. Furthermore, institutional injustices and impediments that prevent young people from fully engaging in the economy must be addressed if economic empowerment is to be achieved.
SOCIAL INCLUSION
Chairman: Hon. BURGOS
04
AND EQUITY
Social inclusion as well as equity are fundamental cornerstones in the field of youth affairs that support a society in which every young person is afforded equal opportunity to flourish and make a contribution. In order to truly engage young people from varied backgrounds in social, economic, and political life, social inclusion requires fostering an environment in which they feel appreciated, respected, and empowered, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic situation, or ability. Contrarily, equity guarantees that every young person, regardless of background or situation, has equitable access to opportunities, resources, and services.
PEACEBUILDING
Chairman: Hon. Bagot
05
AND SECURITY,
ENVIRONMENT
In the realm of youth affairs, peacebuilding and security represent fundamental pillars for fostering a conducive environment that nurtures growth, development, and prosperity. Peacebuilding encompasses a spectrum of proactive measures aimed at addressing the root causes of conflict, promoting dialogue, reconciliation, and social cohesion among young individuals. It involves fostering empathy, understanding, and respect for diversity through initiatives such as intercultural exchanges, conflict resolution workshops, and community dialogues. Concurrently, security measures seek to safeguard the well-being and rights of youth, ensuring their safety in both physical and virtual spaces. This encompasses efforts to address issues such as violence, crime, discrimination, and exploitation that undermine the security and dignity of young people.
​
In terms of youth participation, the environment includes both physical surroundings and broader socio-cultural, economic, and political circumstances. This comprehensive perspective acknowledges youth as both victims and agents of change in tackling environmental issues such as climate change and pollution. Empowering youth via education, involvement, and grassroots activities may unlock their potential to promote sustainable development and create a stronger future.
GOVERNANCE
Chairman: Hon. Aligway
06
Within the field of youth affairs, governance pertains to the systems, procedures, and working groups that facilitate the formulation of policies, the distribution of resources, and the making of decisions about the needs and issues of young people. Encouraging transparent, inclusive, and participatory decision-making processes that enable young people to influence the policies and programs that impact their lives is essential for effective governance in the youth sector. In order to guarantee that young voices are heard and their viewpoints taken into consideration, it entails creating venues for youth representation and involvement in governing bodies, such as youth councils, advisory boards, and consultation mechanisms.
ACTIVE
Chairman: Hon. Bangcaya
07
CITIZENSHIP
In the context of youth work, "active citizenship" refers to young people's proactive involvement in civic life, community issues, and decision-making procedures in order to promote positive social change. It entails youth actively forming their communities, standing up for their rights, and engaging in local, national, and international democratic processes.
AGRICULTURE
Chairman: Hon. Aligway
08
​
A diverse industry, agriculture offers a wealth of chances for entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable living. Agroecology, food technology, agribusiness, and other various professions fall under the umbrella of agriculture beyond traditional farming practices, offering young people a plethora of professional options and means of achieving economic empowerment.
GLOBAL
Chairman: Hon. Pantone

MOBILITY
In the youth sector, "global mobility" refers to the movement of young people beyond national boundaries for a variety of reasons, such as cultural exchange, work, education, and volunteerism. Global mobility offers young people unmatched chances for career advancement, intercultural learning, and personal improvement in an increasingly interconnected world. It encourages the sharing of thoughts, information, and experiences, improving young people's lives and promoting their civic engagement worldwide. Furthermore, international movement is essential for fostering tolerance, cooperation, and understanding across cultural boundaries, which builds the foundation for a more open and connected world.
