Young Decision Makers

For the last 2 years, the IFPA has run a national Young Decision Makers Conference. The goal of the conference is to reach out to young people from all over the country, and to come together to talk about important issues relating to sexual health.

The Conference takes place in the context of the IFPA’s approach to working with young people as partners and leaders in the development of sexual and reproductive health and rights policy.

The most recent conference took place in Croke Park Conference Centre on the 4th of July 2008. The day involved interactive workshops and talks on sexual and reproductive health and rights. It focused at both the national situation here in Ireland, specifically at access to services, and at the international situation with international speakers. Thirdly, the conference looked at the media in this field, and there are interactive sessions so participants could learn how to use the tools that are so readily at their disposal to bring about change, and truly become Young Decision Makers!
