Administrator on April 6th, 2010
Makkah Masjid, Deen Foundation, Young Minds and MINAB- all believe in the contribution that all young people can make to the vibrancy of any community. The aims of all these organizations is to unlock the potential of is the challenge that lies ahead of us. With this in mind, these organizations are holding in conjunction with CEDAR (Connecting European Dynamic Achievers & Role Models) an intensive half-day mentoring session for young Muslims.
With Muslims being one of the least economically advantaged groups in the UK, there is a need to deepen engagement with developing young Muslim’s capacity for professional and entrepreneurial involvement. CEDAR is a pan-European network of Muslim professionals that seeks to generate a culture of success and leadership amongst Europe’s diverse Muslim communities.
The programme will be based on the principle of action learning and will engage Muslim and non-Muslim entrepreneurs and professionals from various professions into mosques to work with Muslim young people to develop self-confidence, employability skills and their understanding of opportunities available to them in enterprise and various professions.
Chair of MINAB Youth Committee, Qari Asim, said that MINAB and Makkah Mosque are pleased to work with CEDAR and Young Enterprise as they seek to empower young Muslims across Europe in their professional and personal development. They are committed to provide such training and ‘action learning’ which seeks to develop young people’s self confidence and employability skills, which are much needed skills in our Youth in the current economic climate.
MINAB will urge its members to take this opportunity offered by CEDAR and Young Enterprise and hold these mentoring workshops in their mosques and madrasahs for the youth.
If you are 14-16 year olds (Years 10 and 11, Key stage 4) and would like to attend the event on Thursday 8 April, please contact us on mail@makkahmasjid.co.uk
