PROGRAMME INFORMATION
SA-USA Community Engagement Exchange Programme

The SA-USA Community Engagement Exchange Programme (CEEP) is an initiative of the Youth Programmes at the South African Institute of the International Affairs (Youth@SAIIA) in partnership with the University of the Witwatersrand and Howard University. The goal of this programme is to create a youth-led culture of community engagement and public participation on university campuses for a more sustainable future. This programme will develop youth participation skills from a foundation of awareness-raising through to engagement in policy and decision-making spaces.

Selected Howard students will join the 2021 virtual programme that will involve collaborative workshops, joint projects, and study tours with South African participants. Students joining this year's virtual programme will work on their own community engagement plans and will become alternates and stand a chance to go to South Africa in late 2021 or early 2022 for a joint conference with Howards and South African participants. Through this exchange, participants will enhance their ability to work with young people from diverse backgrounds to create and implement localised community engagement plans to address challenges of a changing word.
