KARABO Mokgonyana is from Liefde en Vrede and is set to represent South Africa in Korea at the third Youth Leadership Workshop on Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in Jeju, Republic of Korea from May 28 to June 3.
The Liefde en Vrede resident hopes to touch people with his story.
“Precisely people from the South, often we are so clouded by our circumstances that we don’t go out there and explore our capabilities,” said Mokgonyana.
Organised by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) in partnership with Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity and GCED Youth Network, the third Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED is designed to be a catalyst for action on global citizenship.
WATCH: 2nd Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED:
For seven days, the group will have a dynamic programme that combines inspiring presentations, lively discussions, group work, exercises, intercultural events, and local visits and networking sessions with local youths.
Bringing together the most active young leaders who have changed their respective communities, this GCED workshop will present the opportunities to engage with peers from around the world to explore GCED and its key priority areas to effectively achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Karabo will leave for the workshop on May 27.
