The Youth Pre-Conference will prepare youth for the main conference, engage with young people providing them a platform to network, share and learn from one another and experts in the field, and offer a place for skill building including advocacy skills to facilitate advancement of adolescent and youth priorities within their communities at the conference.
The youth pre-conference goals are to strengthen youth engagement at AIDS 2024 and help prepare young people for the main conference. The conference will feature three sessions with the themes of “Breaking Barriers, Building Power, and Forging Alliances”. These skills will help participants to promote youth priorities within their communities during and after the conference.
