This week, two students from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) attended the annual One World Youth Project Summer Training Conference at Rugova Valley of Kosovo. The training, an international leadership conference, has brought together 12 distinguished university student leaders from the US, Guyana, Turkey, Kosovo and Pakistan. One World Youth Project (OWYP) is an international education non-profit organisation that partners with universities and engages university students as global leaders in their local communities. Through an extensive combination of in-person and online trainings, university students become mentors for students aged 10-14 years, facilitating a year-long global competence curriculum in local middle schools.
We really need more conferences like these, bringing together youth of diverse backgrounds to learn about and collaborate with one another. Hopefully more and more people will see the importance of a global education. But for now, OWYP is doing great work!
One World Youth Project seems to be doing great work. Global competency is a skill that all young people should develop. The world needs more programs that address this critical issue.
Global awareness through youth-to-youth education– that's what I like to read about! Keep up the good work, OWYP!
This was surely an outstanding opportunity for these students!! With the ability to share ideas and promote global advocacy on such a large scale it is unthinkable the amount of change on a world wild scale that we can accomplish if we continue with programs like these. I can't wait to see what the future will hold for these young global leaders!
