In this interactive session, we’ll explore the growing wave of youth-led mobilisations taking place around the world from Bangladesh to Tanzania, Madagascar, Nepal, Morocco, and beyond. Participants will hear directly from young organisers about the strategies, creative tactics, and safety approaches fueling these movements. Together, we will examine how youth build momentum, protect themselves in high-risk environments, and translate online expression into coordinated, measurable action.
You will meet Rafid Ariyan, a youth activist, storyteller and artist from Bangladesh. He works at the intersection of digital rights, youth engagement, and artivism, using creative tools to empower young people and strengthen civic participation. Rafid was one of the leading youth voices amplifying the July Uprising 2024 in Bangladesh, helping document, narrate and creatively interpret the movement through art and digital storytelling.
We are also pleased to welcome Radak Sammy, a Kenyan Youth leader, Healthcare leader, and Democratic Governance advocate. Radak is passionate about strengthening youth participation in empowering impact in healthcare, business, and governance, and building the next generation of leaders. He will discuss how young people can organise safely during protests, protecting their lives, identities, and democratic gains in high-risk environments.
