Looking Back at 2023 and Forward to 2024
Hello everyone
What a year! The Youngsters’ Community goes from strength to strength. Whether we are in person at the Youngsters’ Track of the 2023 HAEi Regional Conference APAC or 2023 HAEi Regional Conference EMEA, or staying connected through our awesome online resources, there’s never been more ways to get up-to-speed and be supported.
As I look back on the year, I’m grateful for all the hard work, proud of our achievements, and in awe of the strength of all our young people.
This piece reflects on the year in more detail. We hear from three Member Organizations about their experiences working with their LEAP 2023 graduates, and two members of our Youngsters’ Community Advisory Group tell us about their highlights.
We also look forward. There’s huge excitement as LEAP 2024 is soon to start. We’ve selected a class from more than 20 fantastic applications that came in from across the world. We’ll share more information soon, but you can follow the LEAP journey at our dedicated HAEi Youngsters’ website.
If you want to send a message to loved ones or friends, why not use our inspiring community postcards on our website?
We’ll be back in the new year and looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Panama at the 2024 HAEi Regional Conference Americas.
Until then, the entire Youngsters’ Community wishes you a wonderful, restful, festive season.
See you soon!
Nevena
