Youth Leadership Initiative: Supporting Young People to Become Leaders for Fairer Food Systems

This facilitator handbook is designed to equip young people with leadership skills for advancing fairer, more sustainable food systems. The program is based on Kolb’s experiential learning model, emphasizing learning by doing.

Key elements:

Leadership from within (self-awareness and personal experience)
Leadership from others (collaborative vision and teamwork)
Leadership from structures (understanding and influencing food systems)
The handbook provides practical activities, discussion techniques, and reflection exercises to foster youth-led collective action for food systems transformation.
