<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe first part of the educational talk was moderated by Mr. Delphin KPATA GBIGBI, expert in Conflict Analysis and Resolution around the theme \u201cBanishing forms of discrimination against pupils and students: what solutions are envisaged to fight against hate and misinformation in communities? \u201c. He began by presenting the different forms of discrimination faced by young people in their living environment. Then he made the link between these different forms of discrimination and hate speech before proposing solutions to fight against these scourges. Using an interactive and dynamic method, participants were able to work in small groups on sub-themes. A few answers to the questions raised by one or the other presentation allowed the facilitator to raise gray areas. At the end of his presentation, the facilitator challenged the participants to take concrete actions to change the mentalities of their young peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second part of the activity was led by the coordinator of the CIEE-CCU, Mr. Charles SOMDA around the theme \u201ccivility and citizenship in schools and students: the case of students from CCU associations\u201d. A brief presentation of the history of the CIEE-CCU provided context for the intervention. The mission of the CIEE-CCU is focused on education, supervision, training, support for young people in general and students from the University of Bangui and higher institutes, high schools in the city of Bangui. At the heart of its activities is the concern for awakening civic awareness and moral behavior capable of contributing to the construction of real social well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond the technical definitions of the terms civics and citizenship, the facilitator showed that there is an intrinsic link between them. If citizenship is understood as the fact of being from a city, it comes under the identity and belonging to an environment \u201ca city\u201d which gives the right to privileges and duties, civic-mindedness is order to know how to be with others in the city. Citizenship touches on a dimension of behavior and laudable attitudes of the citizen. Civics and citizenship refer to an awareness, a sense of pride and belonging to a social environment that encourages an exemplary commitment to improving my society and the lives of my fellow citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be a citizen, therefore, it is not necessary to limit oneself to questions of civil documents, but one must consider the degree of attachment to the city which makes one behave well there by contributing to the good of one\u2019s fellow citizens. A civic citizen should not tolerate discrimination in any form. It always rises up against any potential hate speech tones of expectation of violent conflicts undermining social cohesion. A good citizen is careful in his relationship to information and opinions, since he or she is aware of the danger of misinformation. Citizenship gives us an identity and civic-mindedness confirms us in this identity through the attachment and dedication we have for the good of our city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The facilitator gradually led the participants to a kind of self-assessment to see to what degree they are citizens and civics in their daily lives. He insisted on love of country as the starting point of good citizenship. Citizenship is a key element for the development of any country. It becomes reality when there is real personal transformation. With personal transformation it marks the starting point for qualitative social change. Practical exercises to be done on a daily basis were given to the participants to contribute on an individual level to the building of healthy social relations where all men are respected in their dignity. Each participant was invited to strive on a daily basis to;<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n De,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n En effet, le Centre Social Arrupe Madagascar (CA-MDG) est une \u0153uvre de la Province J\u00e9suite de Madagascar (J\u00e9suites) \u0153uvrant dans la m\u00eame enceinte que la Paroisse St Jean Baptiste \u00e0 Antananarivo.
