Why is it important to help Africa's Youth?
Storytelling in
Africa is the greatest of traditions and the impact of Internet
social media is our youth’s greatest gift. We have joined forces
with UNESCO Power of Peace Network to not only provide you with a
free storytelling curriculum but free software tools as well. This
contest will grow your business with free marketing and training
tools.
Imagine your local
community seeing their own story on the global Internet. This a
grassroots movement of African pride.
As an IT organization,
this program is designed to not only tell the story of your
organization’s work in the life of a single youths life, it will
help grow your business as a multimedia
“CyberGuide”.
You can submit from
one to hundreds of your customers’ videos on YouTube. Your café or
ICT will also have a free private web page viewed by people
throughout Africa and the world.
You will receive free
training and publishing tools that can add services that you can
use to help students and NGOs with the contest.
Each African youth
digital story YouTube video is a powerful statement of
determination, leadership and positive ethics. Not only do African
youth and businesses need encouragement in the future of Africa,
but the world needs to hear about it as well.

contest is unique and exciting because the smallest orphanage to
