SpeakOut !
The African Youth Voice Project has found that around the world there is a growing interest in young people participating in politics. Some political, economical and social groups are changing to respond to the growing number of young people who want to affect the political, economical and social system. Political, economical and social ideologies that were once considered "fringe" beliefs are becoming mainstreamed, and more young people are associating themselves with non-popular political, economical and social parties. Finally, more young people than ever before are actually becoming engaged in local community campaigns and other political, economical and social activities.
AYV brings active and interested young people around the country to each other and their government, mainly Africans. Networking thousands of young people from different political, economical and social and ethnical organizations nationwide, we are the meeting place for independent perceptive involvement and information in matters of concern to our raising generation. Indifferent to the range of beliefs from young people across the country, we are connected in a mutual will to empower a generation's involvement in its future.
Composed of varied political, economical and social endeavors and opinion on many issues by youth, AYV enables young people to research, react and respond to decisions and decision-makers on important issues on, or in the interests of youth through a medium.
Whether on a local, national or international level, this medium is a tool to augment your role in the political, economical and social process by engaging and empowering you with involvement and information. What you do with that information is up to you. The need to involve us in decision making, opinion formation and actively ensuring the fulfillment of such decisions is highly needed. See what people around the country are doing, saying or thinking. Get involved, get informed or get support from people like you.
Considering
That the capacity for progress of our societies is based, among other elements, on their capacity to incorporate the contribution and responsibility of youth in the building and designing of the future. In addition to their intellectual contribution and their ability to mobilize support, they bring unique perspectives that need to be taken into account.
That any efforts and proposed actions in the other priority areas considered in this programme are, in a certain way, conditioned by enabling the economic, social and political participation of youth, as a matter of critical importance.
That youth organizations are important forums for developing skills necessary for effective participation in society, promoting tolerance and increased cooperation and exchanges between youth organizations.
We hope to achieve landmark result in the creation of a Bulletin to be called “SpeakOut !”
The resultant effect will be the following as stipulated in the World Youth Report:
(a) Improving access to information in order to enable young people to make better use of their opportunities to participate in decision-making;
(b) Developing and/or strengthening opportunities for young people to learn their rights and responsibilities, promoting their social, political, developmental and environmental participation, removing obstacles that affect their full contribution to society and respecting, inter alia, freedom of association;
(c) Encouraging and promoting youth associations through financial, educational and technical support and promotion of their activities;
(d) Taking into account the contribution of youth in designing, implementing and evaluating national policies and plans affecting their concerns;
(e) Encouraging increased national, regional and international cooperation and exchange between youth organizations;
(f) Inviting Governments to strengthen the involvement of young people in international forums, inter alia, by considering the inclusion of youth representatives in their national representations and delegations to various National and International Assemblies of Interest.
In a nutshell
Our attempt to publish all work, irrespective of daily growing reactions or in consonance to preponderance opinion on the tigblog, would ensure constant communication and orientation of the African Youth, home and abroad.
