Young people don’t just need a seat at the table when it comes to resilience. They need the knowledge and skills to lead.
That is what the third TAYAR Training of Trainers in Lahore set out to do.
Over three days, GYM Captains and Vice-Captains from 14 universities across Punjab came together to learn, challenge ideas, practise facilitation and explore practical approaches to disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, anticipatory action, climate resilience and community engagement.
Led by the School of Leadership Foundation, the training focused on turning complex issues into knowledge that young leaders can take back to their campuses, GYM chapters and communities - and share with others.
TAYAR (Training Adolescents and Youth for Action and Resilience) is a youth-focused programme supporting young people to understand disaster and climate risks, strengthen preparedness and take meaningful action in their communities.
The programme is being implemented by SoLFoundation under the National Volunteer Corps (NVC) project of the Prime Minister's Youth Programme, in collaboration with UNICEF Pakistan and the NDMA Pakistan.
