Ghana to participate in international peace camp

Accra, Nov. 20, GNA - A 10-member team would leave the country on November 22 to represent Ghana in the Second International Generation for Peace Camp in Amman, Jordan. The programme sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme together with Edikanfo Progressive Foundation, an NGO, would also bring together other delegates from Uganda, Sudan, Lebanon and Palestine, among others, to be trained in designing peace proposals as well as implementing them in their home countries. Mr. Patrick Arthur, Director of Communications, Edikanfo Foundation, said the team would use a series of sporting sessions, seminars, workshops, debates and role-playing to cover lessons in conflict management, leadership and project management. "These young leaders will create a global grassroots network of peace advocates and foster a more peaceful world," he added. Mr Arthur said systems and processes had also been put in place to support youth leaders to implement various projects. "Back home in Ghana, the youth will implement various projects aimed at bringing peace in conflict-prone regions in Ghana."
