“aware Yet?” Campaign to Raise Awareness of our Youth’s Plight 4 comments
Posted at 9:55 am in awareNet
South African youth is in general vastly un-appreciated, un-skilled and un-employed (**). Yet they are the future of our country and the hope for the nation! Second rate schooling, apathy and lack of a master plan are the ingredients in this terrible recipe for disaster!
“aware Yet?” a campaign that the Village Scribe Association is starting in concert with the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) 2011 conference has the aim of highlighting the bilateral ignorance:
–> On the one hand the public is unaware of the problem, or even glad to ignore it and sweep it under the carpet.
–> On the other hand, youths are unaware of their options, their rights and the possibility to make their voice heard through team work and mass action.
“aware Yet?” will also highlight the benefits of the VSA product awareNet:
By starting early and learning about the world around them using active collaboration and participation, awareNet users have a head start on their colleagues and are able to pass these skills on by thinking openly and collaboratively about their options. awareNet learners know that united they stand taller than individually, and that the world is a connected place, which can help them fulfill their dreams.
Follow our aware Yet? Campaign and get all the latest news about our Youth!
