Message from the Project Initiator

Those Questions we need to ask ourselves as Youngsters.

Bholanauth Jason

As the world is coming together to create a direction towards 2020, YOUTH20 aims at showcasing how the youth of Mauritius wants the country to look like in 5 years. But for this to happened, we need to have fundamental discussions on what have been achieved, where we are now and how do we want Mauritius to look like in 5 years. From science to Health via sports, YOUTH20 will give the opportunity to Mauritian Youngsters to express their opinion and together create a vision for the different sector driving Mauritius.

WWe want to engage all Mauritians in this campaign and that’s why if you are reading this booklet, do share it with a friend, your class mates or your parents. The more voices we have, the better we will understand our common vision.

We are the future genration of this country and as Leaders we need to act today so that our tomorrow will be how we want it to be.

Through YOUTH20, we will be able to interact with Young Leaders of the Mauritian society and hence have an insight of what is happening at the moment in the country. Those questions that we really need to ask are

Will the skills I am getting today still valid in 5 years?How are the different sectors of the Mauritian economy evolve over the 5 coming years?Do I have the required knowledge to be ready for changes in Mauritius by 2020?How will we, as youngsters, drive Mauritius to 2020?How will we, as youngsters, drive Mauritius to 2020?What are our roles as a Mauritian citizen?

These are only a few questions that are frequently asked by the young Mauritians.

The Project Brief Description

Youth20

YOUTH20 will consists of two main phase - The Information & The Action Phases. Those two phases are dependent on each other and will require intensive Marketing and Engagement Strategies from us. Fortunately, We will have the support of the Director of Communications from Middlesex University, University of Technology Mauritius, Univer-site des Mascareignes and EIILM University and University of Mauritius. The two phases are described below.

From the vision that we created, we will then define concrete actions that will push the country and the youth to achieve it.

CONCRETE ACTIONS TO 2020

Phase 1: The Information Phase

This phase will be mainly about gathering the maximum information we can from the youth. These information will help us describe the general thoughts of the youth on several topics happening right now in Mauritius. WWe will then analyse the survey and make it public through a report. Also, infor-mation gathered at this stage will enable us to plan concrete actions on the second phase and at the same time improve our communication strategy between us and the public.

Phase 2: The Action Phase

Taking the information that we gathered in phase 1, we will define what kind of actions will be needed to create Mauritius Vision 2020. ConcretelyConcretely speaking, we are going to have Youth Leaders in Mauritius to chair sessions with the youth on different topics. From health to sports via agriculture, we will cover the maximum topics possible to enable the youth to create Mauri-tius Vision 2020 for the different topics.
