The 2025 Fiji Youth Parliament kicks off this week in Suva, giving 58 young Fijians a platform to shape national debates and influence policy.
The four-day program offers intensive training in parliamentary procedures, policy-making, and media skills, culminating in a Practice Parliament session where participants debate youth-centered issues in a simulated legislative setting.
Last held in 2015, the initiative aims to strengthen youth participation in Fiji’s democracy.
