Among the topics spoken about were migration, jobs, crime, citizen participation, and education.

The format of the event will get youths talking directly to each other and to adults serving as moderators who are already in positions of leadership, including Belize City Mayor Darrell Bradley, PUP representative Dolores Balderamos Garcia and Minister of State for Youth and Sports Herman Longsworth, who said his appearance today is an indication of the Ministry’s commitment to Belizean youth.

According to the Minister, his Ministry focuses on establishing the policies that will help youth succeed, but their input is important in establishing that success in all fora.

The Minister also called for greater youth participation in politics, saying that the political parties need new blood and new ideas. He stated that rather than allowing themselves to be “used” by the parties, youth should set those parties’ agendas.vlcsnap-2015-05-29-18h00m55s171
