The GHE Youth Spaces program is back! Supported by Omnicom Media Group (OMG), the second cohort will again take place in Musanze — between April and July 2024.
The program’s mission is to give the youth practical skills that lead to personal development, civic engagement and regional peacebuilding in the transboundary region shared by Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Eligibility
Teams of 2-3 people aged 15-30 years with residence in Musanze are encouraged to apply; they must have a specific and feasible business/project idea for impacting their community in a way that is friendly to the natural environment. All participants need to be able to regularly attend weekend sessions and be willing to openly share their ideas and collaborate with other participants to develop their businesses/projects further.
The program is free of charge.
Time Commitment
Youth Spaces activities will be happening on weekends, but homework will be given in between. Participants will get a weekly brief folder that will demand 2-3 hours of their time and will have to be personally submitted on Fridays.
Duration of Saturday workshops will vary but participants should be prepared to spend the whole day. There may be occasional community engagement or other activities on Sundays.
Benefits
Based on their performance and submissions, up to 15 participants will be invited to an international camp with friends from the Gorilla Highlands region. Best teams will receive funding for their business/project.
Application deadline: Wednesday, 17 April 2024 — please apply by clicking here.
