Training ofPeace Weavers for Civic Action in Cameroon 2024
In setting the agenda of public discourse by raising awareness on the issues of hate speech, responsible social media use and conflict reduction, Civic Watch believes in the key role young people play in community peace building in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon. These ills are obstacles to social cohesion and peace in Cameroon. Re-assessing the impact and engagement of youths to the present social dynamics to propose solutions is key in these regions.
The #defyhatenow initiative in Cameroon acknowledges the need to engage in preventive mechanisms against hate speech and incitement to violence both online and offline. Hence, these trainings (in-person) shall host 30 youth leaders who live in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon to discuss the rise of this scourge and its negative impact on social cohesion and community development in these conflict hit regions. The trainings shall be under the theme ๐ ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ญ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐.ย This activity is in line with the objectives of #defyhatenow which seeks to combat online and offline hate speech and incitement to violence, by prioritizing early warning and early action while building on preventive approaches to community peace building for social cohesion in Cameroon.
