As a gender specialist working on the intersectional issues of health with youth, the Action Learning Groups provided me with an opportunity to engage with peers across the globe on how they are informing their youth compensation models. The variety of learnings along with design support form HCD Exchange enabled us to develop a framework on youth compensation that could benefit researchers, policymakers, and advocates compensate youth working in ASRHR.

Action Learning is a collaborative and reflective process where participants from diverse backgrounds identify challenges, develop practical strategies, and implement real-world solutions.
The video below describes our Collective Action Learning Cycles and how the model works.
In 2025, we are running 3 concurrent Action Learning Cycles covering the below topics;
Click on the image of each topic for a brief overview of the themes and issues concerned.
We invite your institution to apply and join us to co-create solutions, share knowledge, and enhance the impact of your work in these critical areas. Still not sure what to expect? We bring you a conversation between Dina and David who discuss burning questions regarding our Collective Action Learning Groups. The answers to these questions can also be found at the bottom of our Collective Action Learning page here.
We have also put together the following documents to help you better understand our model and processes. We implore you to read the documents linked below and notes that follow to understand the commitment required before you start your application;
NOTE:
- The Action Learning Groups will prioritise equal and diverse regional representation to ensure balanced learning and collaborative opportunities for all members.
- Action Learning Groups are designed for institutional representatives. However, individuals who work outside an institutional role and demonstrably work to change institutional practices are welcome to apply.
- Each Action Learning Online Session is scheduled to last 90 minutes on Zoom and run ideally from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM CET.
- Participants must commit to the full 7-month Action Learning Cycle process. Each organisation must have two representatives available to attend all sessions, alternating as needed. Consistent attendance is mandatory, and missing three or more sessions will lead to disqualification from the group.
