The Youth Engagement Plan (YEP) emerged from a commitment by Oxfam International to partner with young people in the development and implementation of Oxfam’s Global Strategic Framework (2020-2030). Co-designed, guided and led by youth leaders, the YEP established a participatory research process to explore how organizations like Oxfam can better support youth agendas and collaborate with youth movements to activate transformative social change. The report drew on face-to-face workshops and digital conversations with more than 350 young people in over 30 countries in six continents.
‘Shaking Up to Move Forward’ was written by Syeda Re’em Hussain, Daniel Macmillen Voskoboynik and Elena Mejia Julca. I worked closely with them on conceptualising the visual landscape for the report and then worked on illustrating and designing it. Setting aside Oxfam’s brand guidelines, the report was a way to bring the colours and energy of youth-led progressive and feminist movements to the page. A culmination of a series of workshops and conversations, the report sought to capture recommendations from youth leaders, while also highlighting barriers that young people face in these spaces.
