تعلیم۔کو عام کرنے میں ہمارا ساتھ دیجئے، تعلیم۔ہر بچے کا بنیادی حق ہے ۔

Our Members Hussain Haider and Hiba Ikram attended UNESCO Forum for ESD & GCED (Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education) and Annual GAP (Global Action Plan on ESD) meeting during the first week of July in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Theme of this year's ESD & GCED forum was 'Learning and Teaching for Peaceful and Sustainable Societies: From early childhood to primary and secondary education'. While, the purpose of GAP meeting was to assess GAP implementation presently, as well as, from five years.
The Global Action Programme (GAP) was launched at the World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development in 2014 (Aichi-Nagoya, Japan) for the period 2015-2019.
NYCE's parent organization the Beydaar Society has been a part of the Priority Area 1: Advancing Policy, of GAP Partners Network since the very start. It is one of the 23 partners and only NGO from Pakistan in this network, giving input on UNESCO’s ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) policies.

While conducting a session at a government girls' school in Lyari area of Karachi, team NYCE realized the students there are full of talent and they need guidance to streamline their efforts to get on the road to self-development.
To serve this purpose NYCE organized a counselling session for the students to help them recognize their goals and how to achieve those. The session also included the training focusing on how to put their talent to use.

The efforts to keep expanding NYCE continues...

Recently, our team head Hiba Ikram represented Beydaar Society and National Youth Coalition for Education - NYCE in a week-long extensive training by United States Institute of Peace as part of her Generation Change Fellows Program - GCFP. The fellowship revolves around fostering collaboration, building resilience and increasing capacity of the young leaders to help create peace in the society, which resonates with the objectives of NYCE.

The interaction with like-minded youth leaders from across borders amplified the impact of the coalition and will help us achieve our goals smoothly. We thank USIP for offering such an experience to our significant member that will now be reflected in the work we will do further.
