2021-2022 Youth Parliament

15th Youth Parliament

Youth Parliament is a programme in which young people aged 15-25 assume the role of Members of Parliament for a day, debating solutions to real issues that they themselves have created. In the process, Youth Parliamentarians learn about Parliament, the legislative process, and the Cayman Islands, all while building teamwork, speech-writing and public speaking skills.
