“When we go overseas we are involved in workshops and we discuss issues like race, religion, issues that are important in society and may cause problems. It opens your eyes and allows you to have a broad mind.”
Dwayne Armitage: Spirit of Enniskillen, Canada 2006
Young people play an important role in the Commonwealth. They have a voice in how their countries and the wide Commonwealth (as an international network of countries) are run
This is achieved through young people networking with each other on a local and international level and helping to shape the development of the Commonwealth today and in the future.
The Commonwealth is an association of 54 independent countries, working together to promote the common interests of their citizens and to promote international understanding.
