“Youth Engagement Programme” is a programme for children from the local community, carried out during the summer.  Its aim is to bring together, educate and entertain youths between the ages of 6 and 16 during the long summer vacations in Buea and Douala. The programme aspires to empower youths through art, health education, environmental hygiene, lectures about human rights and sanitation. Summer programme was created for children and teenagers to provide an alternative from risky behaviour when they are not in school. Participating in the ‘Youth Engagement Programme’ keeps them occupied but at the same time teaches about responsible behaviour and vulnerability of youths in every day life. The programme usually involves 60 children and youths.

Your daily tasks can include: planning the content of lessons, preparing necessary materials, organizing games and other activities to make classes more interactive, helping to create a guidebook for the project and reporting on the progress of ‘Youth Engagement Programme’.
