The World Teen Parliament (WTP) is a global initiative designed to empower teenagers by providing them with a platform to express their ideas and solutions for local and global challenges. It is the first-ever elected parliament consisting solely of teenagers, initiated in partnership with organizations such as UNESCO. This provides a space exclusively for teenagers and WTP addresses the underrepresentation of youth in decision-making processes. This inclusion is vital as young people often face the most significant impacts from current policies and global challenges and will help shape the leaders of tomorrow.
8 of our SMzians participated in this competition to join the World Teen Parliament where in the first phase they needed to make a 59 second video answering a question “How will I improve the world?” and each person shared their ideas and all of them got into the top 400 and now are moving on to the next phase which is LIVE VOTING, that has already commenced.
Live Voting is taking place between 11th Jan and 14th Jan. We request your votes to the cause that you resonate with! Here are the links to our videos and below are the candidate numbers.
