The 2016 Queen’s Young Leaders Award winner, 26-year-old Nolan Salmon Parairua wants to raise a number of youth issues to the international state during his visit to Buckingham Palace, London next week.
Nolan told SIBC News, the need for a workable mechanism to foster youth development and participation remains eminent.
“Once I have the opportunity I want to convey what the real needs of young people in the country are and I want to build up youth networks more effectively with the ministry responsible for youths like the Ministry of Youth as well as make it possible for youths in the rural areas to be heard especially in decision-making as well as their participation in decision-making.”
