TURNING COMMUNITY CONCERNS INTO CITIZEN ACTION
About this event: UN Global Youth Leadership Summit
Related to country: Nigeria

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

TUCAN project 2008 is aim at making positive and visible impact in the life’s of 100,000 hostile youths from different communities in Nigeria, the TUCAN project is targeting only HOSTILE communities across Nigeria. This project will involve communities’ rallies, road shows, community dialogue, capacity building, and trainings which will be done in rural communities only. No single modern hall will be use for these trainings and of course there wont be high table presentations but a round table dialogue. We want to change the negative values of these young people especially in the rural areas; we are creating a new environment where the hope of a better tomorrow is in every neighbourhood not by violence but through active participation of these young people who are referred to as COMMUNITY CONCERNS.

Someone said "The most difficult phase of Life is not when no one understand you; but It is when you don’t understand yourself"

Are you a young Nigerian who believes that VISION 2020 might be impossible without active participation of these COMMUNITY CONCERNS; and who is ready to volunteer for TUCAN project from NOW to DEC 2008 in a community near you. Then the time to share all your experiences, knowledge, voice on local and national issues with these young people who due to one reason or the other hide under the violence umbrella is NOW.
Join the MOVEMENT OF POSITIVE CHANGE;

Remember Martin Luther King Junior: The man who stirred the conscience of a Nation. A nation where the dignity of every person is respected, where people are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Speak Out through Positive Nigerians Yahoo Groups
About this event: UN Global Youth Leadership Summit
Related to country: Nigeria


Those who can bring about freedom where it is absent and justice where it is denied are chiefly young people. . Often times the youth force retreat to dormancy and apathy for lack of perspective and coordination. In this frustration the youth force is hijacked and brought into conflict by belligerent, insurgent and other terrorist war lords either to resist possible democratic transition or to meet their deadly goals. Youth plays central roles, as fighters or victims. Civil conflicts could be reduced in many places if sufficient attention and resources are deployed to provide coordination, leadership and perspective to youths. Youths are valuable tools to safeguard against violation of basic human rights and government excesses if youths could take up their responsibilities and play their role as political actors during and after the transition process of their infant democracies.

Positive Nigerians Yahoo Group is open to all young Nigerians home and abroad who believe in the success of our infant democracy. Young Nigerians who sees Leadership as an opportunity to serve and not to be served; who believe in the success of the Nigeria Project. All group members around the world are expected to organize a monthly Leadership development Programme under the tag" Leadership Values for Positive Citizens" targeting the new cadre of Nigerian Leaders who are catalysts for positive Change.

Objectives
„Ï To build the capacity of youths for active and meaningful participation in national development
„Ï To help youths develop plans for action in their local communities
