Major Group of Children and Youth (MGCY)

I got involved with the MGCY accidentally in 2010 but I have really engaged since then. After the UNCSD-18, I was asked to facilitate the policy paper. This snowballed into thematic teams, 133 organisations / groups involved and a beautiful 1000 word document that was the basis for our lobbying during CSD-19. I was policy advocacy coordinator during CSD-19. This isn't as scary as it sounds...basically, I was sleep deprived and kept track of what happened. I am now the Objectives Focal point for Rio+20 and I am starting to realise that once more...I have no idea where to start but I know that it will be amazing in the end.

Watch us during UN CSD-19 discuss youth participation, lessons learnt and Rio+20
