TEACHING ENGLISH

ToGether As One started a program that aims to provide free weekly English sessions for all university students.

The initiative took place on March 8, 2014, at the Faculty of Sciences in Meknes. Around 400 students attended, many from the different departments of Moulay Ismail University. The participants were divided into groups based on the number of English teachers who are either graduate students or teachers with the Ministry of Education. Five groups were formed, although as the number of teachers increased, the groups did too.

This program is an extension of some of the wider aims that the Together As One organization has adopted as its core mission. This main vision is to inspire young Africans towards achievement and to support literacy and education.

YOUTH TRAINING ON LEADERSHIP

A series of pieces of training and workshops on leadership skills and youth empowerment are being organized by ToGether As One For Community Development in Meknes and led by national coaches. The first training was held on March 25, 2014, at the High Institute of Technology Meknes (ESTM).

The overall goal of these pieces of training and workshops is to bring students together to learn about and identify opportunities for acquiring leadership skills and expanding sustainable individual entrepreneurial initiatives. They also aim to inspire future leaders through personal examples, give participants a greater understanding of the role of leadership in the development, highlight the importance of youth involvement, sensitize participants to the value of critical review, and foster the collaboration of members towards the realization of a common project.

Participants appreciate the pieces of training very well and requested the continuation of such work in the future. One woman expressed her enthusiasm and happiness about it, saying: “Thank you very much for the workshop, it was so amazing as expected, you were so inspiring to the extent I started seeing the world with new eyes.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE ACTIVITIES

Having youth leadership is not only a boon for the young person but also for his particular organization. Making young students as tomorrow’s leaders enable and provide them with opportunities to solve their problems and create the world they wish to see.

Leadership is an opened door for the young generation to communicate effectively, work collaboratively, plan rationally, and organize skillfully. Student leadership is a key success to an ambitious future.
