🅞🅟-🅔🅓 | THIS year, a group of Pacific young people published a guide to talking about pleasure. They called it Pleasurenesia – a play on the colonial labels Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia, terms outsiders coined to organise a region that had never asked to be organised.

By folding “pleasure” into that geography, Youth OCEANS, the regional youth-led network of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, made a pointed claim: conversations about pleasure, sexuality and wellbeing in the Pacific should be shaped by Pacific people, for Pacific people.

Pacific Youth Talanoa 2 is now open for registration.

Following a highly engaging first talanoa, young people from across the Pacific are coming together again to deepen discussions on climate action, strengthen their understanding of how decisions are made, and shape a collective Pacific Youth Communiqué ahead of Pre-COP31 and COP31.

Talanoa 2 will explore climate governance, policy processes and pathways for influence, from national advocacy to international negotiations.

Through interactive activities and peer exchange, participants will gain skills in climate advocacy and negotiation, priority-setting and framing 'key asks', and speaking with decision-makers.

Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with the COP31 Presidency Youth Climate Champion, Sally Higgins.

If you're aged 18–35 and passionate about the future of our Blue Pacific, this is your opportunity to be part of the conversation.

Sound Way Workshop Equips Youth Leaders with Literacy Skills

Navola Village, Baravi, Nadroga – Members of the National Youth Council of Fiji (NYCF) National Executive Board, together with representatives from the Youth Assemblies of Fiji (YAF) and the Provincial Youth Forum (PYF), recently participated in a Sound Way Workshop held in Navola Village, Baravi, Nadroga.

The workshop served as an enlightening learning experience for youth leaders and youth workers, introducing them to the Sound Way literacy approach, which focuses on teaching children the correct sounds, pronunciation, and reading techniques necessary for effective communication and language development.

Participants were enlightened on how to facilitate Sound Way sessions and note the interest to learn more on how to apply the methodology in their own communities, schools, and youth programmes. The session emphasized the importance of helping children develop strong literacy foundations by learning the correct pronunciation of words and sentences from an early age.

In an era where children are increasingly exposed to digital devices and spend less time reading, the workshop highlighted the need to strengthen literacy and language skills among young learners. Participants acknowledged that Sound Way provides a practical and engaging tool to support children's learning and confidence in speaking and reading.

The workshop also reinforced the role of youth workers as educators and mentors within their communities. Equipped with Sound Way skills, participants are now better positioned to support children's literacy development and contribute positively to educational outcomes across Fiji.

The National Youth Council of Fiji extends its appreciation to the facilitators and all participants for their commitment to learning and investing in the future of Fiji's children through literacy and education initiatives and the support from Pacific Australia Skills
