The Pan-African Youth Dialogue-SA will be a weeklong forum on the African Renaissance with particular attention to critical issues affecting the continent, integration of the African Diaspora, world politics, international relations, law and media, business, education, global economy, the environment and human development.
The objective of the conference will be to facilitate an exchange of ideas across an ethnically diverse and socially responsible group of young African leaders. The conference blends social interaction with cultural and educational components into one cohesive experience. We believe in the learning method of direct, hands-on experience or engaging first hand with those who have had the hands-on experience.
The Inaugural PAYD-SA, taking place September, 2011 at Rhodes University ,Grahamstown, and will thereafter rotate between the nine provinces in South Africa, will practice the young people’s leadership skills and introduce them to international organizations that promote human advancement using the following inter-related events:
1. A United Nations Security Council emergency meeting simulation
2. A mock African Court for Human and People’s Rights pre-trial
3. A model Pan-African Parliament proceeding
4. Visits to Parliament of the Republic of South Africa or a Provincial Legislature
5. Group Debates and Panel Discussion on African security, environmental sustainability, rule of law, responsible leadership, human development, education, economy, civil society and governance and mass media.
6. Meetings and Banquet Dinners with leading experts, diplomats, politicians, traditional leaders, elders, eminent persons and businessmen.
The PAYD-SA will invite young people (from Honours level or final year LLB) to submit papers on any of the thematic areas. These papers will be assessed by volunteer academics or people from industry in both content and style. These papers are not conference discussion documents but rather are think-pieces for conference delegates.
In the simulation activities, young leaders have the opportunity to test their leadership skills, debate current issues, deliver speeches, draft resolutions, make executive decisions, and realize through experience the complexities of international relations.
