Summary of Hon. Priscilla Zindari-Moyo’s Speech at the World Teen Parliament
Hon. Priscilla Zindari-Moyo addressed the World Teen Parliament with a powerful and forward-looking speech titled “Expectations from Teen Parliamentarians.” She emphasized that youth are not just future leaders but active contributors to governance and development today.
She outlined the importance of platforms like the World Teen Parliament in shaping bold, ethical, and inclusive leaders. Drawing from Zimbabwe’s successful models—such as the Child Parliament and Youth Caucus—she encouraged teen MPs to:
1. Use their voices with courage and data-driven conviction to speak out against injustice and advocate for equality, education, and youth inclusion.
2. Think globally and act sustainably by crafting policies addressing climate change, inequality, and development beyond borders.
3. Lead with values such as respect, humility, and accountability, promoting unity and transparency.
4. Leverage digital tools to mobilize, campaign, and communicate across borders while ensuring inclusivity for marginalized youth.
5. Champion education not only for employment but as a tool for innovation, entrepreneurship, and societal transformation.
6. Recognize the role of adults—parents, educators, and mentors—as essential catalysts for shaping resilient, ethical young leaders.
7. Be agents of real change, turning discussions into action through policy development, partnerships, and impact-driven initiatives.
Her speech was a rallying call for teen MPs to see themselves as global change-makers and to transform parliaments into movements of progress, inclusion, and innovation.
