Launching Cohort 4 of YALA 2.0!

Following the success of the YALA! Program, Cohort 4 of YALA 2.0! began on December 26th, 2021. The goal of this program is to instill democracy and human rights ideals in Rashaya and Hasbaya youth, as well as to provide them with the information and skills necessary to participate in democratic processes and movement development.

On December 26th, 17 people attended an introductory workshop on the role of the change agent, communication skills, and democratic society. Participants also underwent the masculinity training on January 2nd.

Stay tuned for future workshops, and possibility to participate in Cohort 5!

The event is aligned with efforts at MUBS to contribute to sustainable development goals set by the United Nations (SDGs), including SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

My sincere gratitude for implementing this program. I was waiting for such a program for so long. I hope we can get more programs and such great opportunity. Maybe also participants over 40 can get such opportunities because some program excludes us due to the age factor.

I was looking for programs like the YES program, but I found YES to be the best. It has exceeded my expectations and fills the gaps I had. The trainers are great and very skilled in delivering the information.
