โ€œEXPRESSION JEUNESโ€: : PLANETE PAIX’S YOUTH TALKS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF VOLUNTEERING ON YOUNG PEOPLE EMPLOYABILITY IN COTE D’IVOIRE

Young people from PLANETE PAIX were on Thursday, June 7th, at the โ€œExpression Jeunesโ€ show at RTI headquarters in COCODY. This program was hosted by the journalist Serge Willy on: “The impact of volunteering on young people employability in Cรดte d’Ivoire”. The guest of the day was Mrs. Georgette KOUASSI, Director of Volunteering and Civic Service at the Ministry of Youth Promotion, Youth Employment and Civic Service. In her exchange with the participants, she clarified the points on the notions of volunteering. The volunteer offers his commitment freely to provide solutions to problems in society. Volunteering concerns all categories, depending on the availability of the person and the free nature of the service it offers. The volunteer does full-time work according to certain defined criteria and receives a remuneration in return. The Director presented the National Volunteer Program which will last for 3 years. It helps to strengthen the professionalism and civic sense of young people. The program takes into account any young Ivorian from 18 to 35 years old. Representatives of PLANETE PAIX took the opportunity to discuss the role played by the organization in order to involve young people as key actors for positive and sustainable change in their community.
