  • Radia Mbengue

During the Meetings, we provided live updates to 3,400 followers on Twitter and engaged with 2,500 people on Instagram. We also drafted an Op-Ed about women’s economic empowerment based on the plenary sessions and hosted a webinar about digitalization and mental health in collaboration with the mental health platform Psych2Go (a digital mental health and education platform with over 10 million YouTube subscribers and 15,000 community members). In the latter, inspired by the WBG-IMF Spring Meetings sessions on Digital Public Infrastructure and Strengthening Education and Health Policies, delegates Bill Lu and Anthony Zhong discussed topics including:

  • The implications of digitization on youth mental health

  • How to mitigate potential risks

  • What youth can do to advocate for reduced digital inequalities and improved health/education outcomes.

In terms of logistics, this event was held on Friday May 26 from 4-5PM Eastern time. All in all, it was organized by you and for youth, with a target audience of middle / high school students. It was well attended and 50+ participated in our digital webinar.
