The St. Kitts National Youth Parliament Association (SKNYPA), in collaboration with the National Youth Parliament Association of Antigua and Barbuda (NYPAAB), successfully hosted the inaugural sitting of the Eastern Caribbean Youth Assembly (ECYA) at the National Assembly Chambers in Saint Kitts.

This landmark event brought together youth parliamentarians from across the region for a day of dynamic debate and robust discussion on the Resolution of the Eastern Caribbean Youth Assembly Calling for Stronger Regional Action towards Environmental Resilience and Sustainable Development.

The deliberations highlighted the urgency of regional cooperation in tackling environmental challenges, with youth delegates championing a multifaceted and forward-thinking mandate. Through spirited exchanges, they amplified the voice of young people across the Caribbean, affirming their rightful place at the table of policy and action.
