ABOUT YOUTH VISIONING FOR ISLAND LIVING

'We, the youth of Small Island Developing States, came to Mauritius in 2005, we shared our ideas, and we committed ourselves to take action to assist in the sustainable development of our island homes'

WHAT is Youth Visioning?

Youth Visioning seeks to empower young people in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to take action for sustainable living and development, and by doing so encourage locally-based development of new skills and opportunities.

Three phases made up Youth Visioning's initial activities, which ran from January 2004 to March 2008:

  1. Preparatory activities (January - Dec 2004);
  2. Meeting for youth representatives in Mauritius parallel to the main governmental UN meeting in Mauritius (7-12 January 2005) ; and
  3. Youth project implementation (2005-08).

By the end of March 2008 thirty-five micro-projects led by youth for youth in the Caribbean, Pacific and AIMS (Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and South China Sea) regions had been implemented.

During the four years of developing the initiative, there have been varying challenges but for the most part outcomes have been positive. A solid foundation has been built where there is now a recognised platform where young people from SIDS have access to a source of information and tools that can assist them in implementing grassroots projects. There now exists an opportunity to extend the network and further increase awareness of the initiative to create a larger impact.
