on citizen involvement and responsibility,

opportunities – i.e. improve quality and relevance of information, create new opportunities and utilise existing
opportunities to full potential,
3. Improve Services (education, health care, culture) – i.e. exercise greater control over resources that have a bearing
on these services and access services that are of better quality,
4. Enrich, as well as improve lives – i.e. engage in cultural and artistic endeavours that enrich life experience and, in the
process, help initiate, and institute life improvements.
5. Provide a completely immersive experience of learning where young leaders can absorb information about the
environment and the effects of human behaviour contributing to climate change,
6. Make young leaders aware of how their individual behaviours affect climate change and what they can do to
rectify these actions
7. Facilitate dialogue and discussion among young leaders that encourages them to realise their roles and
responsibilities in the fight against climate change,
