At the request of the Office of the President of the General Assembly, UN-NGLS facilitated a process to identify stakeholders wishing to speak during the "open mic" session at the President of the General Assembly's Youth Dialogue. UN-NGLS facilitated a Stakeholder Selection Committee to review applications for the speaking roles and create a regionally and gender balanced short-list of candidates for the President of the General Assembly to consider.
The President of the General Assembly has now selected the following two speakers through this process:
Leonardo Párraga
The BogotArt Foundation - Colombia
Bryan Wanyama
Ashoka East Africa - Kenya
