Youth empowerment lecture for Queen’s College

Nov 04, 2015 News

The Office of the Presidential Advisor on Youth Empowerment in collaboration with the Guyana National Youth Council (GNYC) will be hosting a public lecture on ‘Rethinking Community Development; A Social Enterprise Approach’, tomorrow from 17:00 hours.
The venue is Queen’s College Auditorium, Camp Street, Georgetown.
In an attempt to empower the young people of Guyana, the government will be having a series of public lectures and training programmes. This particular lecture will be delivered by Dr. K’adamawe K’nife – Lecturer/Researcher at the University of the West Indies.
In his lecture, Dr. K’nife will explore how social enterprises can contribute to community development with a focus on youth development, gender mainstreaming and sustainable development. High youth unemployment plagues the region, in the case of Guyana as high as 40 percent.
Social Enterprises can play a key part of the solution. Young people can benefit from enterprises that can build their skills and confidence that can create and keep wealth in our most deprived communities; and that can build trust, responsibility, provide role models, reward hard work and give young people a voice and a stake in their own development.
Youth are urged to attend the Lecture and learn more about the important role of social enterprises for the development of self and community, and by extension country.
