The International Political Forum is a platform for young people around the world to make their voices heard. We are rapidly gaining international recognition as the go-to place for politically engaged, globally minded young people.
The IPF provides a space for young people to voice their opinion and analysis on relevant topics and issues that are taking place globally. We are driven by the belief that young people, despite being at the forefront of political, social and economic changes taking place around the world, are often unheard in the mainstream media. Subsequently, IPF is driving forward to fill this prevalent gap. We want to tell the stories that are too often sidelined and disrupt the traditional media cycle.
We are members of The Guardian Africa Network and winners of the Virgin Media trip to India to meet Richard Branson. Select features from our website are published on the Huffington Post.
