Pasifika Youth Programme Graduation

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Thirty Pacific-based youth workers from Tonga, Samoa and Fiji graduated with Certificates and Diplomas from a Regional Pasifika Youth Development Programme, during a graduation ceremony in Nuku’alofa, on August 10.

“Ola Fou”, meaning “new life” is a project of the Youth Cultures and Community Trust, a charitable organization registered in New Zealand.

The course is funded by NZAid to assist 16 youth workers from Tonga, eight from Fiji and six from Samoa to attend a series of block courses over 15 months to complete qualifications at the Certificate and Diploma level.

It is aimed at supporting Pacific-based youth workers to develop their leadership skills and gain qualifications to work with young people in their individual communities.
