During the last decade, which represents my professional career in engineering consultancy, projects management, humanitarian emergency relief and international development projects, I was able to recognize unique insights where young professional are seldom given any supervision, leadership or management roles or positions, instead, such roles are usually played by the senior employees of older ages for having more experience. This same phenomenon spotted in the private sector also applies to the public sector and governmental jobs in Iraq.

This is a real dilemma, as enabling and empowering youth in Iraq is a must if change to the better is to happen at any seen point in the near future.

Enabling youth, building their capacity, having faith in them and giving them trust to lead is a key element to change the deteriorating conditions of our country. As many may disagree with that justifying it with the concept that younger people may be less responsible and are coming with less experience in life and work, we can all look to this matter from a different point of view. As young people are usually more open-minded, and have more tolerance in terms of adapting with different conditions, accepting new ideas and concepts.

I aspire to establish an institution that will aim to empower youth in Iraq, with special focus on young professionals, in ways that will enable them to compete in the the work market, in both public and private sector jobs, as well as leadership positions on the political sector and leading the country to a new era. Youth in Iraq have been suffering for decades, and it is them who will make the change to better Iraq happen in case they were given the suitable opportunities.

My name is Mohamed Doukoure, I am 27 years of age and I am a guinean by nationality. I obtained the bachelor degree in Business English at the University Libre of Guinea in 2015.
I am also an activist and the current president of Youth Solidarity and Charity Club which is a humanitarian and a youth-led organisation based in Guinea Conakry which seeks to promote the well-being and social justice in the society.
My expectation of being part of Ubuntu United Nation is high, for me personally, being part of such a global network of social leaders and change-makers is a source of motivation and inspiration that drives me to work harder and better towards the societal reformation and betterment. It will give me the chance to acquire new skills and knowledge from the highly experienced world leaders and intellectuals which will enhance my intellectual capacity. It will also enable me to gain a global perspective, develop an insightful understanding of the challenging global issues and improve my leadership and interpersonal skills.
Moreover, being part of Ubuntu United Nation will broaden my network thereby enabling me to work and cooperate with like-minded leaders and intellectuals which will be immensely valuable for my social and intellectual growth.
As regard with my contributions, I am passionately committed to convey and diffuse the philosophy and the values of Ubuntu United Nation for the betterment of the society by undertaking people-centered projects as usual that will enable the needy to enjoy a prosperous and healthy life in a global society where every individual benefits from a shared prosperity in unity in diversity.
Furthermore, it is self-evident that the majority of people in our society live in extreme poverty and thus lack social and financial stability likewise millions of people are deprived of their individual freedoms and rights; hence my determination to contribute in every possible manners towards the achievement of the sustainable development goals. I will be able to share and inculcate the values of Ubuntu United Nation with other social leaders and change-makers through ambitiously people-oriented and collectively driven viable projects and initiatives that promote the cause of humanity both locally and at the global level so that our society can be a better place for mankind with equal rights and access to the opportunities required for the individual happiness.

I hold a degree in economics, after obtaining this diploma, I worked in an international NGO OXFAM as a community mobilizer and then shortly afterwards an accountant in a national NGO Tabitha, one year after secretary of finance at SOS-Civisme- Central African Republic. Currently I am an activist I am part of many programs namely Ambassador of Sustainability, Ambassador of Word Literacy Fundation, MUN Youth Ambassador etc … Thanks to the various programs cited I had to work effectively in close proximity to my community and I am always ready to work for peace in my country concretely in Resolution 2250 adopted by the United Nations Security Council on December 9, 2015, underlines that “the world has never had so many young people and that they often constitute the majority of the population of countries affected by armed conflict ”. This resolution therefore urges “member states to consider ways of increasing inclusive representation of young people at all levels”. Inclusive youth in conflict resolution is a success towards lasting peace around the world, which is why I am very interested in the youth sector and work for youth to bring lasting peace to my country as well as in the world by exercising my activities to mobilize and make young people aware of the issue of peace and security and also to introduce them to the achievement of the objectives of sustainable development which I am in the process of setting up an organizational initiative that works on the goals of sustainable development.

My CONTRIBUTION 2 UUN
My heart is fully open to being part of this experience! We must be the change we want to see in the world!☺️🤲🏽❤️

# data[].attributes.body
Expectations :

My name is Mohamed Hammami, I am an enthusiastic and very ambitious industrial engineer, graduated from the National Engineering School of Bizerte in 2018 and since that I’ve been involved in several social and community activities such as the American program M2GATE (Mena-Michigan global Action Through Entrepreneurship) where I got a certificate upon successful completion of the program from the US department of state and the University of Michigan.

Throughout the program, I have been working on tackling community issues: such as environmental setbacks and climate change, unemployment and workforce development along with healthcare issues.

Since I am on the track of wider career prospects, the UBUNTU UNITED NATIONS (UUN) Program tends to be a life-changing opportunity and inspiring one.

Without a doubt, this would be an exceptional experience when it comes to upgrading my soft skills along with leadership ones.

As a matter of fact,  As a part of the UUN Program, leadership development would be quite useful for the time being when I am currently leading several initiatives to drastically press the unemployment rate specifically in marginalized areas in Tunisia.

Contributions:

Well, for starters, I have more than 2 years’ experience in a government office within the ministry of industry,
where I’ve focused on small and medium-sized businesses development and youth engagement.

My main projects have been focusing on enhancing local economic sustainability and have involved a workforce development training for local unemployed youth.

So from my perspective, I suppose these areas of support : workforce development and youth engagement would be a good fit to engage in with the U. S. community-based organization.

But then again, From my perspective, I guess the most interesting and beneficial part of the UUN program would inevitably be the cross-cultural communication that I intend to build up.

To be honest, I reckon it’s high time I got out my comfort zone and improved cross-cultural understanding by working in an American professional environment.

Also, by receiving mentorship from global civil society leaders, I hope to enhance real world problem-solving skills and design thinking skills in a way that I would be able to address and press the graduates' unemployment.

On top of that, as a community leader, after completing this one of a kind and out of this world fellowship, I will learn how to move forward with my non-profit organization goals using the UUN program resources. So, I reckon the UUN program will definitely serve to support me in providing the young emerging talents with a smoother access to the job market.

Another point is that the Ubuntu United Nations program will upgrade my leadership skills by exploiting the knowledge that I intend to gain from other community leaders. This would be quite helpful for the time being to learn how to lead a team with people from different backgrounds and how to instill in them this sense of belonging to a shared vision and common values.

In a nutshell, Through UUN Program, I will gain valuable professional experience in community work and I will bring my leadership capacity to the next level.

For the last four years, I worked as a laboratory technician at Phoran (Photonics and Digital Broadcasting) at the University of Abomey-Calavi, where I devoted myself to teaching and facilitating practical work for students in telecommunications engineering. These experiences exposed me to the professional world and especially to academia for several years and hence I have developed an interest in furthering my studies.

For me, digital technologies must contribute more to a more sustainable future. They have a key role in the development of our nations. The importance of Information and Communication Technologies is elaborated by several Sustainable Development Goals. The Internet and ICTs have a powerful impact. My passion, determination and ambition led me to get involved in the community and become an advocate for the SDGs by sharing and transmitting hope to the youth through my work and community engagements in several organisations. My areas of interest include access and digital inclusion, digital rights, optical and wireless technologies.

Enabling me to be fast-paced quality achiever.

I am a Civil/Structural Engineer by trade with more than Ten years of work experience with international and local entities, as well as embassies and consulates (especially US). Including more than Six years of which in projects management, construction works engineering, planning, coordination, and technical reporting. As well as Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) and Health, Safety, Security, and, Environment (HSSE) management in the private sector. In addition to more than Four years in Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, Learning, and, Accountability (MERLA) management, MEAL departments, systems and teams’ establishment, and capacity building, in the International Development and Humanitarian and Emergency Relief sectors (with multiple donors and implementing partners, including: USAID, DAI, UNHCR, Blumont (IRD), RI, OFDA, ECHO, OCHA, ZOA, GIZ and others). With additional experience in training, coaching, capacity building, cash control, bookkeeping, and fundraising for aid and charity purposes.

I possess excellent computer, planning and organization skills, and is fully proficient in both Arabic and English. I very good knowledge about Iraqi and Middle East region conditions (political, economic, security, social, cultural and educational) with a wide overview regarding the U.S./Iraqi relations, and its developments.

I enjoy very good interpersonal and communication skills, and is open to new ideas, I enjoy motivating and inspiring people to enable them meeting their potentials. At the same time, I am is always striving to improve my potentials, widen my experience and sharpen my skills. I enjoy challenges and responsibilities that enables me to grow and adapt. I pride himself for his punctuality and ability to overcome challenges, meet deadlines, and not shying away from taking responsibility for his decisions and actions.

Since July 2014 and until Present, I have co-founded, managed and coordinated the fundraising work of a simple informal yet effective and efficient group that works on fundraising and aid provision for charity purposes, the group is comprised of family, friends and neighborhood volunteers (about 15 people). The group mainly targets Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), widows and orphans. During the last year, we were able to raise more than $25K USD, and provide aid for more than 26 different cases (groups and individuals) across entire Iraq, including food and non-food aid materials distribution, medical treatment and surgeries provision for children and elderly people.

I applied for the Ubuntu initiative and is very happy for being accepted to attend it in order to learn from other activists across the globe, and widen my horizons on how can I serve the Iraqi community in better ways. I would like to develop my leadership skills and expertise even further to coordinate the volunteering work of our group in a better manner, and expand the group work to new levels to enable serving more people who are in need.

By attending the Ubuntu initiative, I believe I can develop solutions and alternatives to achieve better communication with the community, as well as overcoming the hardships and challenges we regularly face in our volunteering work.

Eventually, I hope I can establish a foundation or non-governmental organization to make the volunteering work of our group official and formal. And enable attracting more potential funding to establish and implement humanitarian and development projects and programs on a larger scale, these may include contributions in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Iraq. And to help mitigating the suffering of Iraqi people, and be on the vanguard of those leading the change to a better Iraq, help the country and its people to stand up again and put an end to decades of suffer and deprivation.

Finally, I cannot claim that my efforts would make miracles or fix all the problems in my country, but a thousand miles journey starts with a single step. Thus, I promise to invest my fullest in making the best use of attending the Ubuntu initiative.

Thank you all and accept my best!

Hello everyone,
I am Sofia Sutera, PhD candidate in Human Rights, Society and Multi-level Governance at the University of Padova, Human Rights Centre "Antonio Papisca".
My research focuses on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. I previously studied Law and Political Science in Italy and Sweden, at the University of Padova and the University of Malmö, I also participated in the Erasmus Programme at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium.
I hope that the Ubuntu United Nations Academy will connect me with many young leaders in the world willing to really make our common house a better place.
We are all cosmopolites, citizens of the same world, and branches of the same tree, part of a common human family as the Ubuntu philosophy so well reminds us: I AM, BECAUSE YOU ARE.
Thanks to this project, I hope to acquire new tools, knowledge and know-how to support the commitment of the United Nations to international peace and security and bring about the recognition of a human right to peace.
I think that thanks to my doctoral research and the different institutions, associations and organizations I am part of or I collaborate with I can concretely support the Ubuntu vision of building bridges, advancing an ethics of care, attention, relationship and interdependence.
It is time to clearly state: I CARE.
