The upcoming Regional Workshop on Democracy, Youth, Women, and Minorities, organized by Transparency Mauritius in celebration of International Democracy Day 2024, promises to be a significant platform for advancing democratic engagement across the Indian Ocean region. Scheduled for September 19, 2024, in Mauritius, this hybrid event will bring together diverse voices from government, academia, and civil society to empower youth, women, and minority groups with the tools, knowledge, and networks necessary to actively participate in democratic processes. Collaborating with the University of Mauritius and other regional universities, the workshop will feature panel discussions, interactive sessions, and group activities aimed at fostering cross-regional collaboration, developing actionable strategies, and promoting inclusive governance.
With a line-up of distinguished speakers, including experts in governance, youth leaders, and advocates for women’s and minority rights, the workshop will delve into topics such as youth leadership, women’s political participation, and minority inclusion in democracy. Participants will engage in practical, scenario-based planning and collaborative strategy sessions, culminating in the development of comprehensive action plans for inclusive democracy in the region. This workshop not only seeks to empower underrepresented groups but also aims to strengthen regional networks and create a shared commitment to democratic values. It is set to be a cornerstone event that will contribute to shaping the future of democratic governance in the Indian Ocean region.
