The European Network on Statelessness (ENS) is organising a three day event to engage with young socially conscious and active participants who are motivated to help us end childhood statelessness.

The upcoming youth congress will be an opportunity for a group of 35 selected young delegates (aged 18 to 28) to hear about the effects of statelessness and participate in trainings designed to equip them with skills necessary to become Youth Ambassadors supporting the #StatelessKids campaign in their own country and across Europe.

Participants will have the opportunity to hear from leading experts and academics, UN agencies and Members of the European Parliament on the issue, as well as journalists, advocacy and communications experts on how to advocate for change.

We would especially like to encourage young stateless or formerly stateless persons to register for the congress.

Application deadline: May 15 2016
