Program Elements
Thematic workshops
Each of the two main themes will have a day of the program dedicated to
them, with workshops that day focusing on the related sub-themes.
Workshops will be structured to allow delegates to attend session on a
topic they are passionate about for most of a day, or attend workshops
on different topics to get a broader over understanding
Keynotes
On each theme day, a representative from the field will provide an
overview of the topic, including background, current focuses of the
field, engagement of young professionals and the relevance of the
sub-themes of the IYPS. On non-theme days, inspiring young
professionals will be invited to address the delegates.
Skills Development
These are designed to be sessions in which delegates can obtain or
refresh vital skills. Topics will include: Public Speaking;
Financial Management; Project Planning; Using technology for change;
Public Relations and other similar topics.
Regional Sessions
It is intended that these sessions will provide a structured 'open
space' for delegates. This is where you can share ideas, theories
and potential projects with other delegates from your region, share
contacts and resources and find an opportunity to become engaged in
other activities being undertaken by young professionals back home. The
six regions for the Summit are: North America; Latin America and the
Caribbean; Africa; Europe and the Middle East; Asia and Oceania.
Projects
The IYPF Implementation team will be on hand to provide assistance to
any delegates who are interested in starting up a project, or who have
an idea or current project that they would like to move forward.
The Implementation team will be presenting workshops during the skills
sessions, as well as presenting a project showcase highlighting the
services offered and current projects the IYPF is supporting.
