How do young people in politics build bridges across borders and party lines?
When youth leaders from Kenya and the Junge Liberale JuLis sat down together, the conversation turned to practical steps. They proposed exchange programmes, a joint action plan, and a committee bringing together representatives from different parties.
They were honest about the gaps too. Women remain underrepresented in youth leagues, and that has to change. Young people across our countries face many of the same challenges, which is why Kenyan youth representatives and the JuLis see room to work together on policy.
The conversation also touched on loyalty and unity. Rising profiles should never mean forgetting the party that gave you your start. Debate within parties is healthy, but it works best when it builds rather than divides.
The conversation continues on 13 November, when Kenyan youth leaders and the JuLis meet again. Stay tuned.
