    • How can TIG help IDRC? Liam is willing to contribute

  • James update

    • James is involved in a project in Singapore in February 2019 for young people working with SDGs, via Inclusion for Humanity

    • Including those on the margins

    • Building “networks” rather than single groups

    • Shared values of inclusion for all could unite different groups

    • Addressing same power sources (government, or certain government departments)

    • Cross-cutting concerns can be discovered and considered

    • Examples at UN level - initiatives on indigenous people with disabilities: https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/issues/the-united-nations-and-indigenous-persons-with-disabilities.html

    • Question: how do we facilitate collaboration between different groups from the grassroots level, rather than the top-down / governmental?

    • talking about delayed youth transition

    • UN definition of “youth” : 13-25 (basis for funding under UN)

    • But in the context of different countries, youth might be up to age of 30

    • http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/documents/youth/fact-sheets/youth-definition.pdf

    • Q: critical analysis of UN definitions?

    • Youth-to-adult transition in conflict situations: http://www.gsdrc.org/publications/youth-transitions-into-adulthood-in-protracted-crises/

    • How do we enable “second chances” for those who have (literally or metaphorically) aged out, missed out

      • Second opportunity programs

      • Participation frameworks giving opportunities to all

    • Designing for those on the margins first - those who’ve missed out on the “youth transition” are one of these marginal groups

    • How do we do inclusive design when funding models are age-based? How do we manage the inherent exclusion of this? Where are the opportunities for change, for flexibility to context?

    • Inclusive participation frameworks and networks - how to build them, how to sustain them?

      • Co-design with young people

        • Co-design by storytelling?

    • Inclusive design training for organization

      • 6Ps: policies, programs, projects, practices, partnerships, participation

  • Juliana (quick update)
