Activity update - Week ending 12 October 2012
National Youth Development Trust
October 12, 2012

The National Youth Development Trust (NYDT) held a two day Leadership and Capacity Building Training workshop at Maleme Dam Lodge in Matobo. The workshop was attended by young people from tertiary institutions, artists groups and out of school youths.

The main aim of the workshop was to capacitate young people with concise leadership skills which they are expected to implement in their various communities. The key topics in the workshop included conceptualizing leadership, understanding community mobilization, human rights monitoring and documentation, citizen reporting and gender mainstreaming in community mobilization. Youths engaged with each other and exchanged ideas on how they can organize themselves to fully take part in the broader national development agenda.

The highly charged group of young people challenged the NYDT to avail more platforms in which young people discuss such topics at an in-depth level. They also urged the organisation to gradually give young people practical assignments as a means of linking theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
