As part of my internship with The Youth Cafe’s External Communications and Stakeholder Engagement, I was given a unique opportunity to attend the 19th OIDP conference in Itztapalapa, Mexico on Monday, 09.12.2019. The main topic of the conference was Participatory Democracy and its vision, scope, and obstacles.

Within the network, member think tanks work together on key issues in international affairs and are committed to developing constructive, coherent and future-oriented policy solutions. Such an organisation aims to be a game-changer in shaping our future and shares a culture of open debate and discussion.
