Our intention in participating in the World Social Forum, on behalf of the Houefa Self-Empowerment Institute, is to contribute to discussions on social issues, social justice, peace, and sustainable development. We wish to share our experiences in youth empowerment, community leadership, and peace education, while strengthening partnerships with other actors committed to more inclusive, supportive, and resilient societies.
