About the Roundtable

Youth Roundtable: Staying Safe and Free to Thrive: Empowering Young People to Overcome Modern Challenges - From Gang Violence to Cyber-Bullying

Youth Roundtable

Young people across the Commonwealth face a wide range of interconnected challenges - from the physical threats of gang violence and exploitation, to the digital risks of cyber-bullying, online harassment and misinformation. These pressures can limit their freedom to learn, participate and thrive, often leaving them vulnerable to harm, exclusion or disengagement from society. 

This roundtable provides a safe and inclusive platform for young people to share lived experiences, learn from each other and work with policymakers to co-create practical strategies for safety, resilience and empowerment.

The discussion will draw inspiration from Commonwealth commitments to youth development, human rights and digital inclusion, ensuring that young people’s voices are central to shaping solutions.
