Soka Horii, Executive Director of TEIGEN JP, was in conversation with Mercy Tembon, then Vice President of the World Bank, at her special lecture, discussing youth participation and youth councils around the world.
In the conversation, Horii drew on the Mock Ward Mayoral Election in Adachi and an exchange of practice with the Toronto Youth Cabinet to argue for institutional pathways that connect young people's voices to policy. This work continues through TEIGEN JP's research into an Adachi Youth Council model.
