Youth Find Their Voice
Participants in EDC Philippines program advocate for education at an international youth conference.
In the Philippines, thousands of out-of-school youth seeking skills, knowledge, and opportunity have benefited from taking part in EDC’s USAID-funded Mindanao Youth Development project (MYDev).
Recently, 21 MYDev participants attended an international youth conference in Manila, accompanied by EDC’s Chief of Party Kevin Corbin. Hosted by Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization’s Regional Center for Educational Innovation and Technology, the SEAMEO INNOTECH conference gave young people the opportunity to voice their ideas about how to improve the quality of education in the region.
