 Maverick Peter Seda, a young youth from the Guadalcanal Province, has been selected as a member of the Commonwealth International Youth Forum Task Force for 2024. Alongside 18 other youth representatives from Commonwealth countries, he will play a pivotal role in organizing the Commonwealth Youth Forum (CYF) in Samoa.

The Task Force’s responsibilities encompass a wide range of crucial tasks, including drafting policy recommendations, developing programs, identifying speakers and side events, managing media engagement, logistics arrangements, and collaborating with the Commonwealth Youth for the Youth Agenda at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa. Expressing his enthusiasm, Maverick Peter Seda stated, “I am honored to represent the Solomon Islands and the Pacific Islands on the task force. I look forward to collaborating closely with young leaders from diverse Commonwealth nations, sharing lessons, experiences, addressing challenges, and growing from this enriching experience.”

He extended gratitude to the Pacific Youth Council for nominating him to represent Pacific Youth on this esteemed platform. The 18-member international task force comprises dedicated youth leaders representing 56 Commonwealth countries. Together, they will collaborate with the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC), and the Government of Samoa to orchestrate a forum aimed at producing tangible outcomes on critical global issues like climate change and conflict. The CYF serves as a vital platform ensuring that the voices and perspectives of young people are considered by governments. It has evolved into a significant avenue for youth to amplify their voices as global leaders convene at CHOGM. Scheduled from October 21 to 22, 2024, the CYF precedes CHOGM and is poised to make a substantial impact on shaping youth-driven agendas on a global scale.
