From 28 – 29 September 2020, ASAF members will have the opportunity to look for new and innovative approaches to realise the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within a working group. The results of the African-European Youth Forum will feed into the Youth Summit and its recommendations to the Heads of State and Government!

The working groups will be formed around the following thematic clusters:

• Nutrition and poverty (SDGs1 and 2)
• Sustainable growth and employment (SDG 8)
• Education and digitalisation (SDG 4)
• Climate action and renewable energy (SDGs7 and 13)
• Peace and security, good governance, political inclusion (SDG 16)
• Health and the impacts of COVID-19 (SDG 3)
