Nairobi, 15 March, 2021 / 6:47 pm (ACI Africa).
“Together for a New Africa” (T4NA), an initiative of New Humanity, an international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) active in over 100 countries, has been presented as a model of education, ideal for all nations of the world as well as learning institutions.
At the Monday, March 15 webinar, which the Global Compact on Education on Peace and Citizenship organized, T4NA members said that the initiative that seeks to empower African Youth to face key challenges by promoting and developing a culture of unity, is worth adopting.
“Together for a New Africa is the kind of program that should be adopted across the countries and continents. If I may say, it is actually the kind of program that should be adopted by schools and institutions,” Esther Wanjiru Kaburu told participants during March 15 virtual session.
The Kenyan-born T4NA member recounted her observations in previous encounters saying that while some young people are from African countries experiencing violent conflicts, they have been coming together for the past three years, sat together to discuss solutions for Africa at peace with each other and with hope and smiles on their faces.
“The discussions, reflections, presentations and orientation done at the Together for a New Africa summer schools is what I would call the right kind of education that speaks to the heart, transforms the minds, and inspires people to act,” Ms. Wanjiru added.
