Conversations On Youth 2019

Conversations On Youth (COY), is a symposium to bring together school leaders, school personnel in charge of student discipline, social and youth workers, law enforcement officers and participants from the organising ministries for a dialogue on youth delinquency and offending. COY 2019 was held on 9 September 2019, with the theme Moving Upstream - Early Prevention of Youth Offending. It aimed to raise awareness of youth offending trends and long term school absenteeism, as well as to facilitate discussion on upstream prevention strategies. The event host was Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for National Development.
