Over the past week Slow Food and Hivos have provided the delegates with the necessary tools for continuing advocacy work in their own countries. Though teachers play a great role in enabling students and giving them confidence to plan and execute future actions, the  outcomes are dependent on the students themselves. And through sheer determination, motivation, strength and will, the young delegates from Kenya, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia and South Africa defied the long hours of work, difficult tasks and intense content and devoted themselves to the work of the week.
