Local workshops in Uganda
Between 18th of July and 5th of August 2016 local workshops were conducted in Kampala, Uganda, as part of the project Active for future. Uganda Youth Skills Training Organization has conducted 30 local workshops, which were led by youth workers, with the intention to develop skills, knowledge and abilities of the youth, so that they can increase their chances for employment through so called youth initiative.
Youth workers that implemented local workshops attended training on this topic in May 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya, where they gained new skills and knowledge for support in developing youth initiatives. As part of local workshops this knowledge was upgraded and adjusted according to the local needs of the youth.
The first workshop started on 18th of July where the participants learned what a youth initiative is and how to fight unemployment using it. Throughout the 30 workshops participants got to know each other, improved their communication and presentation skills, learned about finance, administration, marketing ... The participants have gained ideas about their initiative and throughout the workshops developed and worked on them. At the end the participants presented their developed youth initiative.
Presented youth initiative will be performed in the following months by the help of local organization Uganda Youth Skills Training Organization.
