2 Youth work practitioners from Tower Hamlets (Anam Hoque and Rofikul Islam) were given the opportunity of a lifetime by being selected amongst hundreds of individuals in the UK by the British Council to take part in Trust the Difference leadership programme.
Anam spent time in Nigeria and while Rofikul spent time in Tanzania. Both youth workers spent time learning about leadership skills on peace, conflict management and intercultural dialogue with other UK and African country participants. Anam Hoque “PEACE Youth model” has already won a beacon award and is now being set to be developed into an international PEACE youth model with the British Council and other international agencies.
“The whole experience working and networking with other practitioners made me learn a lot, that we all have a role in the globe”. Rofikul is already embarking on developing new pieces of work for young people with Daneford Trust and Brick Lane Youth Development Association. “The whole experience for me was inspirational and developmental for my future career”. Neil Kinnock Chair of the British Council said “the future leaders of the world are our youth and initiatives like these two project, these two individuals are developing are key to creating better intercultural dialogue and creating PEACE in the world”.
