Annukina WardaExecutive Director
What makes you passionate about the area you work in?
I am interested in the way we collaborate with young people to tell stories – to governments and each other. Good policy making is a dialogue – a creative space for conversation and change.

Why do you like working with young people?
I love celebrating multicultural voices and achievements. I want to remind young people that the road to achieving their dreams has only just begun. I love to advocate for and work alongside emerging cultural leaders.
Young people from refugee communities play an imperative role in the future of policy making. It is important to provide young people with a platform to be heard in order to spark meaningful conversations and collaboration – shaping future policy.
