- INVITE ALL YOUTH ACTIVISTS AROUND THE WORLD FROM DIFFERENT POLITICAL BACKGROUNDS AND POLITICAL PARTIES. We even want to invite those living in Gambia to.

- DISCUSS YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS, CULTURE, TRIBALISM AND RELIGIOUS MORALS IN THE GAMBIA AND IN THE DIASPORA. We want to talk about how to motivate our youths to take responsibilities and plant them to join political parties, start their own or even join civil organisations.
- DISCUSS HOW TO ORGANIZE OURSELVES TO BE A UNIFIED FORCE.
A. How to fight and remove Yahya Jammeh out of power. For example by civil disobedient, rebellion, elections etc.
B. Current political situation and future political ideas and leadership.
C. Youth and women empowerment, which is one of the most important topics, specially women motivation. We know that it’s very difficult to get our sisters to talk and get involved in politics as equal partners.
D. Civil Education. We want the future government to introduce civil education in our schools at a very early age.
E. State aggression and mass human rights abuses. The state needs to fear the people and not the people fear the state.
- SPORTS AND MUSIC. How to make things better for youths as a form of self employment. We have to be able to promote our youth talents for entertainments and sporting activities.
- SENEGAMBIAN CONFEDERATION NETWORK. There is a future need for collaboration between our own senegambian people, and prepare them from the grassroot level because both countries need each other. We don’t have to wait for our governments to unite us or organise our businesses. Now is the time to take responsibilities as youths and future leaders.
- BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND AGRICULTURE ENTREPRENEURSHIP. How to prepare our youths to build up a new carreer of passion. For example
A. Transportation
B. Farming
C. Service techniques
- MASS IMMIGRATION AND DIASPORA REPATRIATION. We have to talk about the youths mass immigration taking the back way through the desert. How to prevent diaspora youths going to Gambia for holidays. For example by boycott or other methods.
- PARTICIPANT ACCOMODATION. For those who are coming to the meeting, we have different apartments for men and women. It’s ok for anyone to fix his own accomodation to, example from a friend or relative or hotel.
- WE ARE RAISING FUNDS. Any kind of help one can give is appreciated because we are youths with limited resources, example our family members or mothers can help us with food or by participating. This meeting is specially designed for youths but also it’s open for all from different ages. Any parent who have a child that is interested in Gambian politics and youth developments can come with their children because this meeting is a very important event. Let us come to this meeting with discipline and self respect to one and other. We have to try and conquere our fears and cease the moment and make it holy. This is our childrens future thats why we all need to come out and make a sacrifice. Thank you all and welcome to the first Gambian Diaspora Youth Political Conference in Stockholm.
