JIYM 11 Delegates (Group 2)

The Jinja International Youth Meeting (JIYM) has become an established annual event in the Discovery Centre calendar. This year was the fifth consecutive year it has been held. JIYM is very much the secondary schools flagship event of the Uganda-UK Schools Linking Partnership (U-UKSLP) and again the feedback from the delegates was very positive, many indicating that it was for them a life changing experience.

The students prepared and then delivered presentations to the conference. Following on from each presentation there was was an extended discussion with varied points of view expressed from the floor.
