It is against this background that Youngstars Foundation with support from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED – Washington DC) has since 2005 been holding Africa’s foremost and most consistent annual youth democracy academy called Democracy Series for Participatory Learning and Actions by Youth – DESPLAY. The program which deepens young people’s knowledge about democracy and fosters active youth participation in governance processes has reached hundreds and thousands of young people from across West African countries namely Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon and South Africa. A new Africa is emerging because a new generation of young democrats are emerging, and DESPLAY is capacitating and networking this new emerging team! Apply today and you will be glad you did!
