On Saturday, 28/02/2025: GYIN Gambia Chapter held the fourth and final FATE Youth Think Tank Session at Mayork Senior Secondary School in Foni, West Coast Region (WCR).
Mentor Mariatou Bah and the students focused on their project “Reusable Alternatives”. They held a practical session where they demonstrated how to make handkerchiefs and bread bags by hand. These handmade items are intended to reduce the use of newspaper, tissue paper, and plastic for wrapping breads and wiping hands thus promote environmentally friendly practices.
From Africa To Europe [FATE] Project aims to foster cross-continental collaboration by engaging youth from Rwanda, Germany, and The Gambia in a series of structured activities and training sessions. FATE is to enhance skills, promote cultural exchange, and build networks that support sustainable development. With FATE, we have established the Youth Think Tanks in The Gambia, Rwanda, and Germany focused on climate change and sustainable development. With FATE, we encourage youth to become bridge builders, fostering global solutions and lasting partnerships between Africa and Europe. FATE is funded by the Africa-Europe Foundation and is being jointly implemented by GYIN Gambia and Inspiresouls e.V in Germany and Rwanda
