About

Centre for Youth Perspectives (CYP) is a youth-led research and advocacy platform amplifying the voices of young people across the Global South. More than a media platform, CYP is a global community of writers, thinkers, and changemakers dedicated to shaping public discourse with purpose and integrity. We seek to move from old narratives to new perspectives that are bold, evidence-based, and youth-driven. Through research, dialogue, and digital storytelling, CYP promotes informed conversations that transcend borders, bridging policy and perspective to ensure that youth are not just participants but partners in shaping a more just, sustainable, and inclusive world.

Vision:

To build a global community of youth voices that Inspect, inform, inspire, and influence narratives for a more inclusive, sustainable, and just world.

CYP and United Nations SDGs

Centre for Youth Perspective (CYP) is firmly committed to advancing the principles and objectives enshrined in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. CYP recognizes that meaningful youth engagement lies at the heart of inclusive progress, peace, and prosperity. Guided by this conviction, the Centre integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its research, dialogue, and capacity-building initiatives, ensuring that young voices contribute constructively to the global development discourse.

CYP promotes inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education as a foundation for youth empowerment. Through research, advocacy, and leadership training, the Centre seeks to foster analytical thinking, civic awareness, and policy literacy among young individuals, enabling them to become informed and responsible global citizens.

Recognizing the transformative potential of youth in driving innovation and productivity, CYP supports initiatives that enhance employability, entrepreneurship, and digital skills. The Centre aims to contribute to an enabling environment where young people can access dignified work and participate meaningfully in the economy.

CYP is dedicated to promoting social inclusion and equal opportunity for all segments of youth, particularly those from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds. By ensuring equitable access to education, mentorship, and policymaking platforms, CYP works to bridge gaps and reduce structural inequalities. 

 

In alignment with global climate commitments, CYP engages youth in environmental sustainability and climate resilience initiatives. By promoting environmental education, green innovation, and ecological responsibility, the Centre seeks to cultivate a generation of environmentally conscious leaders.

CYP advocates for youth participation in governance, peacebuilding, and civic engagement. The Centre envisions a society where young people are active contributors to transparent, accountable, and inclusive institutions, reinforcing the foundations of justice and democratic governance.
