Programme P-02 · Legum Youth Network
Young people, at the table where policy is made.
The Legum Youth Network amplifies youth voices in justice and governance for 15 to 30 year olds across Nigeria and the Sahel, through policy participation, civic engagement, digital activism, capacity building, digital rights advocacy, and legal literacy workshops.
Scope
What the network does.
Policy participation
Structured routes for young people to feed into policy processes that affect them directly.
Civic engagement
Programming that builds the habit of participation, not just awareness of it.
Digital activism
Campaigns run on the platforms young people already use, covering digital rights and online harms.
Capacity building
Skills training that compounds: legal literacy, advocacy, and professional readiness delivered together.
Digital rights advocacy
Campaigns addressing online harms, from harassment to digital exclusion.
Legal literacy workshops
Rights education built for a youth audience, delivered in universities, secondary schools, and online.
Delivery
Delivered through student and campus networks.
The Youth Network operates through law-tech student clubs and campus chapters, including the IP & Technology Law Club at the University of Ibadan, Techminded Lawyers Club at OAU, Tech Savvy Law Club at Ekiti State University, and the Baze University Law Students Society. Programming is designed for peer delivery: students trained through the network run sessions for their own campuses and communities.
