Support that builds consensus around outcomes creates alignments among a collective of young people, fostering connections that lead to mobilization and action. Outcomes from this mobilization can affect change at both the project and systemic levels, i.e. for individuals at the local level and systems at the institutional level. It is through this process that TakingITGlobal, as a practitioner organization, fosters the development of leadership behaviours among young people globally.
