Asia Pacific Region Young Women in Governance Workshop

The Asia Pacific Region are delighted that we will host the “Asia Pacific Region Young Women in Governance Workshop) (for young women aged 18 to 30 years old) prior to the Conference. This means that the young women participating in the workshop should stay to join the main Conference to continue with the project of young women in governance.

The workshop will support 33 young women who are passionate about our Movement through the Asia Pacific Young Women Ambassador Programme  (AP YW AP) to pursue a governance or leadership position within their MO or WAGGGS. It will also link to the current global project to deliver Motion 32 of the 36th World Conference - to look into the reasons why more young women are not standing for governance positions and to develop a set of actions that will significantly increase the number doing so. 

The workshop will equip young women with capacity building in leadership and advocacy, supporting them to reflect on their journey and charting it for their future.

Nominated Young Women Ambassadors will work on the Young Women in Governance Research Project by WAGGGS at their MO level. They will contribute to strengthen and build a strong network of young women in the region who are equipped to take leadership positions.

The workshop will run from Sunday 11 August to Monday 12 August 2019. Young women attending the workshop are advised to arrive on Saturday 10 August.
