Some of you may or may not know that I work with a youth-based organization here in Ghana. We’ve started doing a round-up of blog posts of what’s happening among youth action leaders around the world each week.

Here’s a piece from our first post at YPWC where you can read round-ups from 6 youth-oriented bloggers around the world making great change in their communities.

The YPMN blog wrote about the upcoming Afghan Youth Voices Festival which will be held in the coming weeks in Afghanistan. The festival will give young people a voice through various media including radio, television, internet, blogging, and so on.

They wrote:

“Welcome to the Afghan Youth Voices Festival, the first youth media festival in Afghanistan. The Festival will provide an opportunity for the country’s youth to express their ideas and dreams about their future through the media.

The festival will empower the next generation of leaders to discover the power of their creativity and learn to express their voices through different mediums including radio, television, the internet, blogging, photography, posters, art and music. If you are a young person (aged 15 to 24) you will have access to training, grants and there’s a competition with special prizes. So we invite you to expresses your big idea.”
