From the energy in the room to the moves on the floor, we found the rhythm that connects us all 🎶 A reminder that partnership is built through shared ideas and shared joy. New friendships, new collaborators, and a whole lot of laughter. Hapo sawa! 🔥 #LinkAndLearn2026 #AUEUYouthActionLab #AfricaYouthMonth #YouthSenateKenya

Touchdown Nairobi! 🇰🇪 The first connections of #LinkandLearn2026 were made not in a session, but in the airport arrivals hall. One by one, grantees from 12 African and 11 European countries landed in Nairobi to placards, smiles and a warm Karibu from the team. Over the next few days we will share the moments, lessons and the people that made 28-30 October at the Kenya School of Government so special. Stay with us! 💚 #LinkAndLearn2026 #AUEUYouthLab #AfricaYouthMonth

Flip charts, sticky notes and big ideas. Communities of Practice (CoPs) at #LinkAndLearn2026 came back with practical, youth-designed solutions and roadmaps 🔥 #LinkAndLearn2026 #AUEUYouthLab #AfricaYouthMonth #YouthSenateKenya

At the #LinkandLearn2026 Innovation Marketplace, grantees of the AU-EU Youth Action Lab set up their booths and showcased the solutions they are implementing in their communities… from climate action and civic engagement, to livelihoods and enterprise. And it did not stop at showcasing! Participants went booth to booth investing in each other’s initiatives 💸 backing the ideas they believed in most. Young people putting their confidence behind other young people? That’s what this is all about 🤝🏾 #LinkandLearn2026 #AUEUYouthLab #YouthSenateKenya

From the sidelines of the NGO Forum to the ongoing 89th Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights #ACHPR89 in Dakar, Senegal, Youth Senate Kenya through the #OROF (Our Rights, Our Future) project is ensuring young voices shape Africa’s human rights agenda! It has been 40 years since the entry into force of the landmark African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. While this anniversary celebrates four decades of progress across the continent, it also demands urgent reflection on the current realities faced by African youth - from shrinking civic space to systemic unemployment, climate degradation, and barriers to political participation. #YouthSenateKenya #OurRightsOurFuture #ACHPR89 #NGOForum2026 #YouthInGovernance #Agenda2063

Effective legal advocacy requires cross-border solidarity! Our Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) Chairperson & Kitui County Youth Senator, Wakili John Mueke, is in Dakar 🇸🇳 representing @YouthSenateKE at the #OROF Africa Regional Study Visit - alongside young leaders from Kenya, Senegal & Eswatini. #YouthSenateKenya #CivicFreedom #ngosforum2026 #OROF

Participating in the Stockholm Environment Institute’s Science Policy Dialogue ("Towards a New Africa - Europe Partnership for Research and Evidence-Based Policy"), a shared priority was clear: sustainable development requires seamlessly aligning empirical research with transformative policy. Ultimately, building sustainable African futures demand equitable, sustained financing for African research and science diplomacy that actively translates evidence into action. 🌍💡 #ScienceDiplomacy #EvidenceBasedPolicy #AfricaEuropePartnership #ScienceToPolicy #SEI

For pastoralist communities, livestock is not just property, it is survival, identity, and the future. Samburu County Youth Senator John Erisen, alongside local residents, calls on authorities to ensure that security operations protect communities and livelihoods, rather than undermine them. True and lasting peace cannot be achieved through heavy-handed security measures that destabilize communities and threaten livelihoods. We demand: 1️⃣ Human rights-centered security operations 2️⃣ Compensation for lost community livelihoods 3️⃣ Inclusive dialogue that meaningfully involves youth leaders under the #YPS agenda #YouthSenateKenya #SamburuEast #JusticeForSamburu #YPS2250

To drive real change, we need longer, flexible grant periods and active regranting mechanisms that let high-performing initiatives scale what already works. ⏳🔄 📖 Full report: drive.google.com/file/d/1TCn… #YouthSenateKenya #AUEUYouthLab #YouthLedDevelopment #Regranting #YouthFunding
