International Youth Parliament
The International Youth Parliament (IYP), an Oxfam International
initiative, managed by Oxfam Community Aid Abroad (Oxfam Australia),
is a global network of young activists and social change leaders
who work at a global, national and local level to effect positive
social change.
IYP promotes youth participation in the development process,
supports skills and capacity building programs, advocates for
the rights and freedoms of young people and their communities,
and supports young people's on-the-ground initiatives to achieve
human rights, sustainable development and a culture of peace.
IYP's vision is 'youth building an equitable, sustainable and
peaceful world.'
The first sitting of the International Youth Parliament (IYP)
was convened in Sydney in October 2000. IYP2000 presented an opportunity
for young people throughout the world to put forward their ideas
for building a diverse and sustainable human society, and to seek
youthful solutions to both local and global challenges.
What began as an event has evolved into a vibrant global network
of young activists and development workers, working under the
banner of equity, sustainability and peace.
IYP represents an active response to some of the key issues that
face our world. Their current focus is the effect that globalisation
is having on young people.
