Last week, I had the honor of attending the AFS Youth Assembly #YA29 for the 3rd time, but this year was a special year for me because I was serve as Youth Advisory Council members , Canadian Ambassador for 2nd year and OF COURSE representing my team Molham Team. I started the week by celebrating International Youth Day #IYD at the #UN. It was inspiring to see and meet young changemakers from around the world come together to discuss and promote youth empowerment. It was my pleasure to co-organized a powerful events one of them was called "Storytelling " at SDGs Zone alongside with my amazing colleague Wantoe Wantoe. The stories were from youth delegates from 9 countries, that event was sponsored by DHL. It was a privilege to facilitate a space to young changemakers where their voices and experiences could be shared and heard. A special thanks to Firehiwot Abebe and her team! Also, I was deeply honored to receive the Outstanding Ambassador award. This recognition means so much to me and fuels my commitment to making a difference. One of the most incredible moments was participating in the Alumni Spotlight with the incredible peers Larissa Cevallos, Moemen Sobh, Savannah Verhage and Olamiposi Ekuma At that event I had the chance to stand on stage and share my journey—from being actively involved in the Syrian protest, becoming a refugee in Lebanon, joining the Molham Team, to helping Syrian refugees and returning year after year to the Youth Assembly the place where we can share our stories and experiences as refugees. Thank you Yumna Khan for make this inspiring event happened. During the closing ceremony, I had the opportunity to speak and share a video of relocate a IDP family from a poor tent to a stable apartment, this video was under significant project called " Until the Last Tent " by Molham Team. The family was moved under the honor of AFS Intercultural Programs after they gave us a special recognition last year with funding $5000 for moving the family. It was a significant reminder of the impact we can have on the lives of others. Additionally, on behalf of the Molham Team and refugees around the world, I presented AFS President Daniel Obst and AFS's team with a small token of appreciation to thank them for their efforts. Thank you Milena Miladinovic, Nicole Lebenson Angulo, Siri Uman, Cami Brito, Eloise Dolan, Saskia Kaya, Sean Reilly, Syed M. Ali Mustafa and Efrem Fisher for made this event unforgettable! Remember my message: The impossible is possible, and together we can destroy all the camps around the world until the last tent.

Climate Entrepreneurs earn the AFS Global Competence Certificate, Global UP. The AFS Youth Assembly was a highlight of the summer where 700 delegates ages 18-32 came together to address the united nations SDGs in a series of guest panelists, academies focused on intercultural relations, education, climate entrepreneurship and changemaking. Participants remarked that it was helpful for their experience in NYC having thought about their own cultural identity before embarking on this journey, where they lived with roommates from other countries and had to work together on teams for a pitch competition at NYU School of Professional Studies. Knowing their communication styles, conflict styles and having practiced active listening, enabled these participants to successfully work collaboratively on their global teams and they will carry these skills throughout their entire careers. Applications are now open for the next Youth Assembly.

The ESI is proud to have served as a knowledge partner for the 2024 AFS Youth Assembly, which took place earlier this month. At the event, our own Laur Hesse Fisher moderated a panel entitled “Shifting the Narrative to Drive Climate Action,” which discussed building a framework for effectively engaging different audiences on climate change issues. This panel was a part of the “Transform Our Future: Unite for Climate Action” track at the conference, which was designed in part by the ESI and consisted of panels and workshops that explored what systemic, policy, governmental, and individual changes can be made to further climate action across the globe. If you're interested in attending in 2025, you can apply here: https://lnkd.in/dh-tsCs4 #ClimateAction #ClimateCommunication #YA29 📸 Johnny Vacar
