The World Federation is excited to announce our first inaugural Youth Conference to be held in Mombasa, Kenya from Friday 13th March to Sunday 15th 2020. This conference is for both male and female delegates aged between 18 - 30 yrs old.

The conference will be split up into three parts:

1. Personal Development: Listen to talks from renowned speakers on topics such as how to boost your soft skills, how to build a network, how to inculcate a can-do attitude and how to public speak.

2. Discussion: Delegates will have a chance to discuss contemporary issues of female empowerment and social vices, finding out the root of these problems and then collectively discuss ways to solve them.

3. Solutions and Presentation: Delegates will get a chance to draft solutions to the problems outlined and conduct constructive debates with one another. The final solutions will be put up for a vote, and the successful ideas which are passed will be presented at the main The World Federation conference.

This conference is unique as it will couple empowerment with discussion and debate providing both a learning opportunity as well as ample room for participation. You will also be able to network with each other and get a taste as to how The World Federation works, whilst also being in with a chance to influence the current policy.

It would be incredible to provide solutions to problems faced by the youth by the youth themselves. Not only will you have the greatest understanding of these problems, but you can combine this with your creative edge and make an impactful difference to the lives of Khoja youth around the world.
