Youth Driving Community Education: Testimonies of Empowerment from Asia and the Pacific

This publication presents a collection of testimonies from young women and men from vulnerable backgrounds who have transformed their lives through community education and development activities. Their testimonies describe the challenges they faced in pursuing an education, how they benefited from community education programmes, and the active roles they now play in community education and development.

The publication will meet its objectives if it inspires young people and their partners to take action to:
> Improve educational and learning environments for young men and women;
> Improve the participation of young women in community building and democratic processes; and
> Engage young men and women as active citizens working towards peace, democracy and sustainable development.
