Part of Youth Literacy Organisation (YouLi)'s programmes, we organise workshops and seminars that tend to empower the youth to improve their literacy skills.
For the last few we have been organising a series of workshops - in partnership with the Goethe-Institut, the German cultural centre in Kigali.
Themed 'Exeperiences Worth Sharing', the workshops bring together young people experienced in different literacy-related areas to exchange knowledge and skills with peers who are willing to develop their creative writing, creative, critical thinking and communications skills.
Having organised 2 workshops so far, we are very pleased to have witnessed a lot more than expected. We have learnt a lot, including how much young Rwandans have a lot to share. I only hope that we get to create more platforms for more exchange.
On the 6th of August when we launched these series of workshops, we had invited Natasha Muhoza, Friday James and Ornella Umubyeyi to share their reading, writing and publishing experiences. Looking at the feedback forms we distributed to the participants after the workshop, I must say that these three promising young Rwandans have done a great job with huge impact.
Tonight, we have enjoyed listening to Akaliza Keza Gara, Eric Ngagare and Frank Abaho. These three young bloggers talked about their blogs, their blogging experiences and knowledge besides helping our organisation to guide some of the participants that were willing to create their own blog. I am personally grateful for the great continued help and support that we have been receiving from different young people across the country and far.
Seeing these young people joining efforts to help their peers have made most of my teammates and our partners to believe in the mission of YouLi, which is "to facilitate the youth to encounter opportunities of developing their literacy, creative and learning skills by learning from each other and others - through spaces created by young people of different backgrounds."
If Rwanda is to learn and educate more people and create bright futures for as many people as possible, we need to engage as many people as possible in everything we do - of course, mostly including the youth. I have always believed in Rwanda's youth and I think I will keep it up for ever and ever more.
