Information on the African Eloquence Youth Celebration (see attached
photos):
African Eloquence seeks to educate the public on the various cultures of
Africa in a social, academic and fun manner. The main goal of this program
is to promote the awareness of Africa as a continent of rich and diverse
cultures.
African Eloquence is a competition (among African youth) of presentations
on Africa, an exhibition of African talents, costumes, dancing, drumming,
poem recitals, etc. Not only will this program educate the public on
African cultures, but it will also promote/showcase the talents of African
youth in Victoria, and help them build self-esteem and confidence. There
are not many opportunities for our youth to take advantage of, and so we
want to create more opportunities for them to showcase their talents,
knowledge and receive some great prizes.****
Our principles are to:
· Lead awareness****
· Encourage diverse cultures****
· Educate the public****
· Generate self esteem and confidence in our youth ****
· Create opportunities for our youth to take advantage of****
The four main areas help is needed are: fundraising, planning logistics,
youth coaching and advertising. To get involve as a volunteer or a
