Symposium
Details
The organizers are expecting students from secondary schools, colleges and universities from all over Mbeya to attend the event titled “Your Voice, Your Choice! - Rights and Duties of Youths during the Upcoming Elections”. Throughout the whole day the young citizens, which are mostly first-time voters, shall comprehensively be prepared for the upcoming local government elections. Best possible informed voters are the base of any vibrant democracy.
Besides introductory speeches of CETA’s Secretary General Safari Minja and KAS Tanzanian’s Projectmanager Erasto Ndeuka, representatives from the Teophilo Kisanji University Mbeya, the TEKU University, the National Election Commission (NEC) will be holding presentations to inform the young voters. In addition, there shall be plenty of room for an open discussion and a question & answer session.
In October and November 2014 similar events in Dar es Salaam and Mtwara had attracted in total more than 700 young people(click here for more: http://www.kas.de/tansania/en/publications/39389/ , http://www.kas.de/tansania/en/publications/39585/ ). After these very successful events, CETA and KAS in cooperation with PMO and NEC will continue their joint efforts to provide young people with information on voter registration and further voter education in other regions of Tanzania.
Participation is by invitation only. For more information please contact info.tanzania@kas.de
