The APSS organised a four day workshop in Kathmandu at Hotel Shangri-La with active participation of youth and student activist based in Kathmandu, and other influential youth leaders of various political parties of Nepal. This four days workshop was organised as the follow-up activities of the running project “Youth Participation in the Constitution Writing Process of Nepal” which is running in its second phase with the generous financial support from the GTZ Federalism Support Programme. The first phase was focused to creating basics for youth/student participation at grassroots to national level in the constitution drafting process. In the second phase before this advocacy workshop six regional level youth dialogue workshops were conducted with locally-active student activists from selected colleges of the constituent regions.

These one-day four advocacy interactions included discussion on key youth interests and issues for their constitutional adoption with proper constitutional arrangement to be executed at local, province and federal level. The main objective of this workshop was to learn and identify the key issues of state restructure with, in particular youth perception, and suggest constitutional provisions and youth actions and interventions for the effective implementation of the new governance model, at local, provincial and federal level. National Youth Policy -2066, various youth manifestos and other relevant documents from various youth groups and stakeholders had been presented to assist youth participants in the discussion.
