ABIDJAN-MAMADOU KOULIBALY :«IL FAUT ABANDONNER LE RÉGIME PRÉSIDENTIELLE? IL DONNE TROP DE POUVOIR»

A delegation of PLANETE PAIX led by its Secretary General Mr. KOBENAN Florent proceeded on Tuesday February 26, 2019 to the official presentation of the certificates of Messrs. 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 Champions’ 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 d’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 Champions’ program. On the agenda was a collaboration regarding “Peace Digital Elections” program.
Afterwards, the delegation went to SODEFOR and gave Mrs. KOUASSI Epse KEDIA Affoué a Certificate and a book. As a Representative of SODEFOR, Ms. KOUASSI materialized the technical partnership between the NGO PLANÈTE PAIX and the said Institution by leading a panel during the November 2018 summit. On behalf of the Institution, Ms. KOUASSI expressed gratitude to PLANETE PAIX. She is willing a long-term partnership between the two (2) Institutions.

The third part of the Book Club initiated by the NGO PLANETE PAIX in collaboration with the United States Embassy in Côte 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- “L’Art du Pitch”
3- “Devenez 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.
