Written by: Florida Yadao Ledwaba

From June 23 to 28, the Women's Federation for World Peace South Africa, in collaboration with Youth and Students for Peace (YSP) and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) Cape Town, hosted a 7-day Youth Leadership Training in Wynberg, Cape Town. This workshop aimed to instill and promote the values taught and modeled by WFWP Founders, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon: true love, purity, cooperation and responsibility. With the theme "Rise Together," the workshop sought to foster collaboration among the youth to work together towards realizing a peaceful and sustainable future.

The workshop brought together 21 participants and 5 youth staff members, providing them with a comprehensive program designed to develop their leadership potential. Recognizing the importance of nurturing young leaders, the Youth Leadership Workshop served as a platform for personal growth and community engagement. Participants engaged in a variety of activities, including character education sessions, team-building exercises and community service projects.

One of the workshop's highlights was the Pure Love Pledge, a commitment to uphold values of purity and integrity in their personal lives. This pledge underscored the importance of maintaining strong moral principles as a foundation for effective leadership.

In summary, the 7-Day Youth Leadership Workshop offered a transformative experience that equipped young individuals with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to become effective leaders. These young leaders are now better prepared to shape a brighter and more prosperous future for themselves and their communities.
