Forum des étudiants bamoun, le droit de croire

La ville de Foumban accueille du 13 au 18 Août 2013 le forum national des étudiants bamoun. Les activités se sont ouvertes hier 13 Août 2013 par une concertation interne entre les étudiants venus des différentes universités et grandes écoles du Cameroun tenue à la maison de la culture des Rois Bamoun. Le lancement officiel a eu lieu ce jour à Foumban par l'Adjoint d'Arrondissement de Foumban, Représentant personnel de Monsieur le Sous-préfet. Ce lancement a été précédé par une marche athlétique qui est partie de l'hôpital de District de Foumban jusqu'au Lycée Classique.
Comme un Homme, on a apprécié une symphonie convergente vers la même direction dont la symbolique revêt une signification salutaire. Esperons que cette marche physique vers la même direction soit suivie de celle morale pour l'émergence du légendaire département du Noun.
En attendant, les activités du forum se poursuivent jusqu'au 18 Août prochain où l'apothéose sera marquée par l'election du nouveau bureau de la LINEN (Ligue Nationale des Etudiants Bamoun) qui organise le forum. Au programme des conférences, tables rondes, rencontres sportives etc.

OPEN MEETING WITH THE UNITED NATIONS WITH YOUTH: CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Call for participants

UNITED NATIONS INTER-AGENCY NETWORK ON YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
OPEN MEETING WITH YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS, NETWORKS AND MOVEMENTS
18-20th September 2013 United Nations Headquarters
BACKGROUND. The United Nations Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development (IANYD) is a network consisting of 40 UN entities, represented primarily at the headquarters level, whose work is relevant to youth. The aim of the Network is to increase the effectiveness of UN work in youth development by strengthening collaboration and exchange among all relevant UN entities, while respecting and harnessing the benefits of their individual strengths and unique approaches and mandates.
WORK OF THE IANYD: In response to requests from Member States for increased collaboration in the field of youth over the past number of years, as well as to better ensure young people’s participation in the work of the UN, the Inter-agency Network has been working to ensure that young people are actively involved in its work, for example, through the inclusion of young people and civil society organizations in the work of the thematic sub groups of the Inter-agency. In addition,  and as part of the Secretary-General’s Action Agenda, the Inter-agency has been working to better ensure coordination and collaboration of all UN entities working on youth issues, through the development of a UN System-wide Action Plan on Youth (Youth SWAP), which aims to strengthen programming and policies on adolescents and youth in regions and countries on five thematic areas: employment, entrepreneurship, political inclusion, civic engagement and protection of rights, education - including comprehensive sexual education, and health.
The Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development has been working in consultation with young people throughout the development of the Youth-SWAP. In order to further strengthen and continue these partnerships, it will host an open meeting with youth networks, organizations and movements.
OBJECTIVES. The meeting will be an opportunity to share progress made so far on the Youth-SWAP, to identify ways in which young people can participate in implementing it, holding the UN accountable and jointly calling for increased investments in young people. You can participate online or in-person in the meeting taking place at UN Headquarters on 18-20 September 2013.
ELIGIBILITY. To be eligible, you must be:
  • Aged between 15-29 years
  • Affiliated with and endorsed by a youth-led or youth-focused organisation, network or movement
  • Able to prepare for the meeting by reading relevant background materials
  • Able to clearly demonstrate a multiplier effect of participating in the meeting
  • Willing and able to continue engagement and participation after the meeting
FUNDING. Participants are encouraged to cover their own costs for participation. Limited funding is available to ensure that youth from under-represented and marginalised groups can meaningfully participate in the meeting.
DEADLINE. Applications that require funding must be sent by August 20th the latest. All other applications should be sent by September 15th.

12 Aout, Journée internationale de la jeunesse

Aujourd'hui 12 Aout, le monde célèbre la jeunesse. Loin d'être une occasion de simple manifestation, cette journée se doit d'être un instant de memoire pour le monde, les décideurs mais surtout les jeunes qui doivent entreprendre des reflexions et des actions si petites soient-elles pour la construction d'un monde que chacun de nous voudrait voir pour lui et ses enfants.

Bonne célébration  à tous mes pairs et surtout bonne méditations
