Our executive director, Soka Horii, met Stephen Mensah, Executive Director of the Toronto Youth Cabinet, at Toronto City Hall in Canada.
The Toronto Youth Cabinet is an official body of the city and one of the largest youth advocacy bodies in the world, putting proposals to the city and running workshops from a young person's perspective. The meeting covered what each of us does and how we might work together, among much else.
Stephen Mensah said afterward that it had been an honor to hear about Horii's passion and determination to see young people's voices reflected in Tokyo's decisions.
