UWEZO Workplan Doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yu7ryGGnNPzIzAtM3dmtBUud6u9KrvkvU-8dih6bGE0/edit?usp=sharing

  • TIG - consultation across campuses in Canada - to see how action guides can be implemented

  • How elements of the guide can be brought to life

  • Both working on SDGs

  • Current projects on SDG at UWEZO - youth with disabilities - monitoring and documenting the SDGs in Rwanda

    • Focus on employment, education and health

    • Documenting best practice

    • Contextualize SDGs in Rwandan context

    • Not yet fully integrated into the work there yet

    • Training on SDGs, home visits, school visits

  • Many young people out of school, working in informal sector (not legally recognised work)

  • Want business skills

  • How can we do business better?

  • 1st objective - a guide on how to do business

  • 2nd  - youth organisations

    • How are they doing? How do they choose their activities? Etc

    • They requested a guide

    • How to integrate youth with learning differences in their programs

    • How to provide platforms for their voices

  • SDGs collaboration is possibly a 3rd piece?

    • There may be some cross-cutting elements

  • Question of budget - not sure it’s enough to do all of the above

    • Could probably be 30k

    • Need to draw up a budget

    • Need to prioritize

  • Where are the points of connection and collaboration with TIG?

    • TIG could help with finding/accessing inclusion guides - the guide Liam is building could be one of those resources

    • Understanding the Rwandan context - UWEZO

    • Feedback (Phase 2) - useful for TIG to know

    • Maybe this would fit into a future guide

    • Align the type of support that TIG can offer with what is needed

  • SDGs are cross-cutting, UWEZO already working on this, but maybe this is an opportunity to scale up

    • Can “test out” the guide that TIG is working on - does it work in this context? Other communities?

  • A follow-up between TIG and UWEZO working together on SDGs?

  • Liam and Bahati to meet and discuss further?

  • Liam going to Korea on Thursday - SDG 4.7 - transformational education

    • Back on the 24th

    • 4.7 by 2030 ensure all learners acquire knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including among others through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development

    • interesting to analyse this from the perspective of  learners with various needs

  • Youth empowerment program - UWEZO was involved

  • UWEZO interested in collaboration with TIG!

    • They bring practical experience

    • Young people taking the lead

  • Next conversation when Liam is back (Feb 25th)

  • TIG set up MOUs for broader collaboration? To be explored...
