Here are some the links and activities we have done under the Champions program:https://www.facebook.com/ChampionsEmpowermentSeries?sk=infohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLwIl6B3jU
Champions are a group of campus students for various Unis and Colleges which share one common thing: they have huge passion in doing something with a big heart and a right purpose that can bring changeto the landscape of the youth here in Sarawak.
Now the reason of WHY we are organizing this youth festival. We simplyjust want to UNITE us youths, our peers regardless of our race, our religion, our background and even the football club that we support.We believe that through unity, we can inspire our friends to be that agent of change to go out achieve something as they share our passion too. And through this inspiration, we hence can revolutionize our wayof life and show the older generation, we are no longer the future of tomorrow but the future of today. Simply put, it begins now.
Well HOW we intend to do this is by coming up with a youth festival that will act as a social space for like-minded youths to cometogether and engage in the activities that they are passionate and keen about. It is no longer about the top guy with grey hair behind the desk stating this is what is what the youth wants, but rather, itis about the youth stating what they want and do it.
ALL designed, organized and hosted by the vibrant, exciting andpassionate Youth of Sarawak, the CHAMPIONS which is CO-CREATED withand strongly SUPPORTED by Jabatan Belia & Sukan Negeri Sarawak (JBSNS)and Ministry of Social Development (KPS). Finally, the Champions is strongly and passionately supported by YOUTHWORKS ASIA, the organization that help started the whole Champions program.https://www.facebook.com/groups/championsfoundation/BreakFree Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=263646877007304&view=wall
