The first Global Land Forum Youth will be a two day event where young people will exchange ideas, strengthen a global network and build together an agenda to address the main challenges young people face in accessing land and protecting their territories around the world, with a special focus on Jordan.
It will bring together 100 young people (18 – 35) involved in regional initiatives in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe, Middle East and North Africa. 50 of the young people participating will be from Jordan, the host country.
It will feature a variety of activities including thematic debates, interactive sessions and trainings. In addition to this, regional preparatory sessions will be held in November 2021.
A CALL TO PARTICIPATE WILL BE LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2021.

I dream of a change of land ownership and the equality of land rights for Indonesian People, especially for peasant or small-scale farmers, Indigenous Peoples, fisherfolks, and other vulnerable groups of people.

In Kenya, the land sector is largely dominated by the men and the elderly, but my dream is to spur the next generation of leaders to focus on their inclusion in the sector, and close the generational gap.

I believe that land rights are fundamental and strategic to achieving a world with resilient food systems, through lower net emissions, greater environmental conservation, and freedom from hunger and poverty.

My dream is to ensure that the new generations, within our communities, become empowered and involved in the processes of collective participation and thus, generate life projects that allow us to move more solidly towards self-determination.
