It is all about the Africa Youth Congress. The first Africa Youth Congress took place in Accra-Ghana in 2018, and now the 2nd Congress in Nairobi, Kenya. The importance of the Africa Youth Congress is that which cannot be overemphasized. It aims at fostering the idea of Pan Africanism among African Youth (Christians and non-Christians), especially in the domains of Justice, Equality, Sustainable Peace, Transparency, and Good Governance. It also aims at empowering Africa Youth in the domain of Entrepreneurship and Positive thinking, such that they strive and become Job Providers and not Job Seekers. Also, it aims at reawakening the consciousness and appropriation of Africa as a home worth living and dying for. Africa Youth in an atmosphere of objectivity, humility, and simplicity, are expected to challenge injustice and evil in all forms and to be part of transformative leadership and truth.
The Africa Youth Congress demographically works to bring together Africa Youth (at home and abroad) within the ages of 15-35 years with a gender sensitivity and equality of males and females.
The first took place in Accra-Ghana (West Africa), the second is currently going on in Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa), and the third is expected to move to South Africa. Confirmation will be made at the end of the Nairobi Congress.
Kwame Nkrumah’s Philosophical Consciencism looks up to the moment where Africa shall be referred to as ” THE UNITED STATES OF AFRICA”, where Africa will be totally emancipated from foreign influences and dictatorship.
The 2nd Africa Youth Congress, ongoing in Nairobi, Kenya, began on the 31st of October and shall end on the 5th of November. Selection of the Youth who attend the Congress is solely done by the Africa Youth Congress Executive upon applications from Youth all over Africa through Email. The ongoing Africa Youth Congress has in attendance 15 Cameroonian youth, with 12 coming from the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC). We thank God for the great mobilization of the PCC National Youth Office.
The All African Youth Congress is a junior branch of the AACC ( All African Conference of churches), and its activities are mentored, supervised, and evaluated by the AACC.
The 2nd Africa Youth Congress, ongoing in Nairobi, Kenya, is focused on the theme “Africa my Home, Africa my Future”.
By this theme, African Youth, invigorated with humility, vigor, and fortitude, are expected to be shaped and awakened for justice and peace, such that their performance and participation in Public and Private areas in their countries and lives should be illuminated with the effervescence of love, honesty, truth, Good Governance, spiritual maturity, and social decorum.
AFRICA MY HOME, AFRICA MY FUTURE.
