🗓️ Date: 10-11 September 2025
📍 Location: Nairobi, Kenya
🔗 Organisers: Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) 

Kenya’s young political leaders are coming together to chart a bold, collaborative future! On 10–11 September 2025, the WYDE Political Parties workshop will bring youth leaders, policymakers, and key political stakeholders to Nairobi for two days of powerful dialogue, strategic collaboration, and action planning.

Organized by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) under the WYDE Political Parties project, led by ENoP and supported by the European Commission, the workshop will explore how young people can bridge divides, counter polarization and radicalization, and build a culture of political cooperation ahead of the 2027 elections.

Anticipated Outcomes

• High-Level Opening Session – with leading voices including party leaders, senators, the IEBC, ORPP, and civil society champions.
• Panel Debates & Plenaries – Chairpersons of the Youth Congresses will discussion topics on tackling polarization, ethnic politicization, and youth engagement strategies.
• Interactive Group Work – Participants will draft cross-party policy briefs, crisis response strategies, and frameworks for youth-led political cooperation.
• IPYF Cross-Party Action Resolution Framework – This will be a collaborative outcome to guide cross parties’ political tolerance, inclusivity, and youth-driven reforms.

The workshop will also feature case studies of past dialogue sessions held within Kenya and outside the country, hands-on sessions in policy brief and statement drafting to amplify youth perspectives within political processes and by extension within Kenya’s political and electoral.

As Kenya approaches the 2027 elections, the role of youth in fostering political unity and shaping inclusive policies has never been more critical. This workshop sets the stage for a series of platforms that are meant to consolidate efforts aimed at developing actionable solutions, and strengthening democratic values, ensuring that young leaders are not just participants but key architects of the country’s political future.
