The
Glocal Forum and the
University of Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia, have
signed a Memorandum of
Understanding to
cooperate in the city’s
"We Are the Future
Program". The University
(AAU), the oldest higher
education institution in
Ethiopia, was founded in
1950, and offers diploma
and degree programs,
including Bachelor and
Masters Degrees,
Speciality Certificates
and PhD programs. AAU and the Glocal Forum share the same views of the value of youth empowerment as a means of education and peacebuilding, and so they have agreed to cooperate on a program to train youths aged 15 to 24 years in health, nutrition, arts, sports and ICT. The youth will then go on to teach younger children in the city’s We Are the Future (WAF) child center.
WAF is a worldwide
effort designed to
assist children in
conflict and
post-conflict areas by
addressing their basic
needs through programs
in the five sectors
above, to help heal the
wounds of conflict. The
core of the program is
the creation of child
centers in six pilot
cities (
The
Glocal Forum is working
with the support of
various public and
private partners to
establish these child
centers as hubs to
provide a holistic
service for the children
and youth. The
