Islamic City of Marawi (27 November) -- To have a better understanding on the important role of youth in nation building, a five-day Youth Leadership Summit (YLS) is slated here next week.
The summit will be held at the Mindanao State University (MSU) main campus and will kick off on November 29 to December 3 this year.
Inspired by the theme, “Kabataan ng Lanao del Sur: Nagbubuklod at Pangungunahan ang Pagbabago Tungo sa Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran,” this first-ever YLS in Lanao del Sur aims to develop and enhance the good leadership skills of youth leaders and mold them to become partners in promoting peace and development.
The YLS also hopes to develop God-fearing, morally upright, and socially responsible youth leaders.
Topics involving the role of youth in the campaign on climate change adaptation, environmental protection, peace and security, drug education, gender sensitivity, and good governance will be discussed during the 5-day summit.
It will include activities that will help participants develop teamwork, understand and appreciate ones culture, as well as awareness of their civic and social responsibilities to help them mold the future of their own communities.
The summit is sponsored by the 103rd Infantry Brigade (Haribon) of the Philippine Army in coordination with the provincial government of Lanao del Sur, the National Youth Commission (NYC), and MSU-Marawi.
