ADOPO Achille and KOFFI Donald at the Ministry of Family, Women and Children, respectively as a trainer at the internships and as a panelist at the Young Championsโ€™ Summit for Peace, Security and Sustainable Development, November 2018. They also received a book on Leadership and Personal Development each. These books, it must be remembered were offered by the U S IN Cote dโ€™Ivoire in the framework of the Summit to encourage participants to read but, especially to give them tools through these books to enable them to boost their work on the field. PLANETE PAIX, expressed its gratitude to the Ministry of Family, Women and Children. Indeed, the Ministry provided technical assistance by appointing one of its experts as a panelist and allowing several participants to do an internship in the institution. After thanking the delegation, the recipients reiterated their willingness to contribute to the Young Championsโ€™ program. On the agenda was a collaboration regarding “Peace Digital Elections” program.
Afterwards, the delegation went to SODEFOR and gave Mrs. KOUASSI Epse KEDIA Affouรฉ a Certificate and a book.

TELL ME WHAT YOU READ AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE

TELL ME WHAT YOU READ AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE

The third part of the Book Club initiated by the NGO PLANETE PAIX in collaboration with the United States Embassy in Cรดte d ‘Ivoire is attracting a lot of interest and enthusiasm for young people. Young people understand through this activity that reading is necessary for their intellectual development. Three (03) books were scrutinized :
1- “La vache pourpre”
2- “Lโ€™Art du Pitch”
3- โ€œDevenez un grand leader”
The first book allowed participants to understand why and how to be remarkable. The second taught them pitching techniques. Finally, the third gave them the necessary advice to become a great leader for example to develop the art of listening, to value people and results and to embody the values. Youth was invited to adopt the saying: “Tell me what you read, and I will tell who you are”. This saying is indeed, the translation of “Tell me who you frequent, and I will tell you who you are”. But, here, the originality lies in the fact that for Anglophones reading is a powerful factor of transformation and development of people. In conclusion, participants began to internalize the idea that each one of us is but the sum of his readings and would like program to go on.

PLANETE PAIX SUBMITTED ITS PROPOSAL DOCUMENT

PLANETE PAIX SUBMITTED ITS PROPOSAL DOCUMENT

PLANETE PAIX has submitted its document of proposals for the reform of the Independent Electoral Commission to the State Secretariat for Human Rights and the Ministry of the Interior and Security. For the Organization, the prerequisite for the success of the reform is the setting up of an ad hoc Electoral Reform Commission. This Commission will have to include all components of society for frank, objective, consensual, credible and democratic discussion for the future of our country. In addition, PLANETE PAIX believes that the reform must also affect the electoral control institutions if one wants to resolve once and for all the elections related crises in Cรดte d ‘Ivoire. The Organization wants the appointment of the members of the Election Control Institutions to also use democratic or consensual ways to inspire confidence and credibility. Wisdom recommends that one make an excellent decision when one has the possibility to avoid being a victim of his subjective decisions because the wheel turns and it turns actually.

YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN THE ART OF PERSEVERANCE, TO THINK EFFECTIVELY AND DEFEND THEIR IDEAS

YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN THE ART OF PERSEVERANCE, TO THINK EFFECTIVELY AND DEFEND THEIR IDEAS

On Saturday, February 16, 2019 the BOOK CLUB participants learned how passion and perseverance forge destinies through “Lโ€™ART DE LA NIAQUE”. They also learned to THINK EFFECTIVELY IN 5 STEPS. Indeed, the panelists taught them to look for simple solutions to a complex and difficult problem. And to stay on the ground facing a daunting challenge. They were invited to dig up their knowledge at Stage 1 (Earth). Then consider their failures as sources of lessons and take better advantage of these failures. They should not be afraid to fail because from their failures, they will find the tools they need to succeed (Fire). They must learn to be their own Socrates by raising questions (air) and creating new ideas from the old ones. They understood that solutions to small problems bring solutions to big problems (Water). They were asked to initiate the change as Stupidity can be defined as doing the same thing and hoping for a different result. In the face of a problem one has to exploit other alternatives, methods, ways instead of doing the same thing at best (quintessential element).
