The Seychelles Media Commission has joined forces with the Seychelles Colloquium National Committee, the Seychelles National Youth Council (SNYC), Youth Health Center and UNFPA to organise the youth and media forum, scheduled to take place on Wednesday 15th of November, as part of the wider regional colloquium event, currently taking place in the Seychelles since yesterday Monday 13th to the 15th of November 2023.

So far, two preparatory meetings have been organised in the lead up to the forum.
 
The youth and media forum will be the platform whereby young people will discuss how they wish to receive media messages relating to HIV/Aids, Hepatitis and Addiction, on what platforms and what key messages needs to be communicated post 2023.
 
The information gathered will guide the Ministries of Health in the different Indian Ocean countries and media houses in the Indian Ocean region. In turn they will be better guided when producing content and sharing information relating to HIV/Aids, Hepatitis, addiction and other youth related topics.
The forum is being supported by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
