As Frantz Fanon once asserted “Every generation must find its own mission and must either fulfil it or betray it”.
The current generation has great opportunities ahead of it and can offer solutions to the social, political and economic challenges that our communities and world are facing. A youth inclusive society and program such as this debate and mentorship programme can positively change the lives and enhance the confidence of many young people which will lead to a world of more young people who are educated, energetic and confident in their pursuit of changing the world and promoting world peace. Topics covered will fall within the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
It is a firm belief that young people in schools are leaders of tomorrow and if well exposed to purposeful careers, can carry positive attitudes in life and use their energy on the things that will bring a positive change in our world.
Young learners must start believing that they are indeed the leaders and peace builders of tomorrow. The world needs more speakers and doers and fewer people who choose to remain silent when things are going wrong and not do anything. The Debate and Mentorship Programme aims to inspire future Rotarians and produce confident and compassionate professionals in the years to come.
