| Premised on the need to promote youths as leaders in the community who can inspire change,Some of the participants in the YCG projectYouth Challenge Guyana (YCG) has introduced a project designed to yield such character traits. With funding from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the project was kicked into motion earlier this month and is intended to channel change through videography.In this regard, YCG, a Non-Governmental Organisation,Cheap Jerseys Online, has been working in collaboration with the University of Guyana’s Centre of Communication Studies. The latter entity is tasked with training the 22-odd participants in the area of videography in order to furnish them with the necessary skills to complete a two-minute long video with the theme being ‘peace’.According to YCG’s Project Coordinator, Dwayne Mitchell, the project has in fact blossomed from a previous leadership and development project which was undertaken last year. That project, he recounted, was aimed at building life skills, gender awareness, conflict resolution and the other basic skills required for youths to be role models. And it was funding from that very project that allowed for the introduction of the latest project,Wholesale China Jerseys, Mitchell said.“The project is slated for a month,Cheap NFL Jerseys, but the training with UG started the 10th of this month and will end on the 22nd. They are placed in four groups and when they finish with their respective videos we hope to have them shown on television and on ‘YouTube’ and we will have the public vote on them.”Based on the votes, a winning group will be adjudged, Mitchell said. However, while the project funding does not cater to awarding the efforts of the youths, Mitchell expects that YCG will be able to solicit support from the private sector in this regard.“We think that a lot of the time young people are not given the credibility or even the chance to be able to make a change and so we want to show that young people can be leaders and agents of change; they can actually make positive things happen once given a chance,China NFL Jerseys,” Mitchell confidently asserted.And based on the anticipated response,Jerseys From China, available human resources and forthcoming funding, the possibility exists that the project could be a sustained endeavour,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, he added.While the focus is on the need for peace, the project is in no way related to the elections atmosphere, according to Mitchell, who pointed out that engaging the project at this point is completely coincidental.“When we came up with this project, the elections date was not even announced, although we know that it can play a very vital role during this time. We would definitely advocate for and want to have peace during the upcoming elections, but we want to bring home the notion of peace during and even after elections,” Mitchell insisted. |
