Symposium "Youth in conflict-affected areas"

Video impressions from the 2011 Washington Youth Policy Symposium with a focus on youth in conflict-affected areas.

This inaugural symposium in the youthpolicy symposium series aimed at advancing discussions around the effects of conflict on youth in the field.

It explored the increasing need for agencies and donors to identify how current practices fit within larger trends in issues facing youth affected by conflict. The symposium further compared current trends with previous work in youth programming, evaluated the direction that youth programming is taking, and strategised proper ways to engage conflict-affected youth.
