The United Nations, G7, World Bank, and other major institutions often seem intimidating and inaccessible, but there are many ways for young people to have a voice at these forums. Over the past year, EWBers have boldly ventured into new territory to advocate on the world stage. Come hear about these incredible experiences from some of EWB’s Advocacy all-stars!

Les Nations Unies, le G7, la Banque mondiale et d'autres grandes institutions ont souvent l'air intimidantes et inaccessibles, mais il y a plusieurs façons pour les jeunes de faire entendre leur voix dans ces forums.

Venez entendre les récits de quelques-un·e·s de ces héros et héroïnes du plaidoyer d'ISF!
