 Welcome back to hashtag entrepreneurship Tuesday right here on why in the morning? My name is Michelle Ashira you can follow us across all social media platform that is at Y254 channel So before we head on for a break. We were having conversation with the chairman for IYF Johan Kim and He was giving us a story on apples and I was asking if this particular story had anything to do with the change Mindset camps that run every single July to the first of August 30th of July Until first first of August is first of August. All right, and Where did this Program Was it initiated or does it intertwine with this particular story over I just changing your mindset Yes, actually Yes, especially as I mentioned those farmers and they only thought that it was impossible But when they came together and discussed together and the share ideas together and when they were doing so There was always a way out and so right now Sitting at home also watching these many youth might also have this mind the crossing their thought and thinking that ah now It's impossible. It is difficult now. They're saying that they're going to open Colleges and University in September and but it is difficult. Where do I get? You know, they only think about it in a negative way And but now if we turn our eyes and also look at it with the mindset that there is always a way and then I believe that they will also find a way where they can also in terms of their Entrepreneurship their small businesses and also find a way to go out as well Absolutely speaking about just changing your mindset in order to create room for innovation and creativity you Your team you put together with your team on the second of July You met to the president of a guy Kenyatta and the agenda being the introduction of mind education program in Kenyan schools So how do you intend to work with the Minister of Education to implement a mind? Education program in our schools. Yes right now First of all, we believe that you notice the way you think the way you see the way you believe in your mind in your heart Actually, it's all formed since you are little. Yes. So what you see what you experience and What you're exposed to and through that now children's they grew up with that mindset And so that's why we thought that it is very important For us to give this mind education in the starting from the primary school And then up to a high school and also even up to a university level as well Because this mindset is also very handy and useful even in terms of Counseling and guidance as well. And so that's why we have applied and so that we can also do this since primary school And we believe that this is also needed also for the teachers as well Not only for the teachers also to the public servants as well we're working with the right mindset and Not only that so to accomplish this right now. We are about to Start a university called Mahanam University With mind education major as well. And so in terms of education We are pushing it that way and in terms of youth now also through this youth camp online youth connect and Through these programs that we are also training the youth on mindset as well speaking of public service. So One of your institutional appointments being mind lecturer and advisor for Kenya prison service How does the mind education at training help prisoners adjust to life after after being in prison? Yes, actually Nowadays Generally in the world the word prison is not there. They use it correction of facility Yes, so now it's not like that in Kenya. Can I still Kenya prison service KPS? But now in Korea many of the countries they're trying to change the name from prison to correction And the reason is because while they are in prison and they should not just be punished They should have a change before they come back to the society And but right now when you look at the data and statistics many of the prison inmates they get discharged and They cause a problem and they go back in and so also Kenya desires also for corrections as well But how are you going to bring the corrections just by teaching them how to get a job? How to become a mechanic how could to become a carpenter just by teaching them a skills? Yes So you might learn a skills and get a job But the mindset itself is not changed and because also committing a crime and also Doing the mistakes and it also also starts from and the world of the mind as well. And that's why we both KPS and also IYF felt that in order for us to bring the true Correction we need to have and their mental and their mind and their heart to be changed. And that's why We made a name for you and now we are doing the mindset training in the prisons as well What is the mindset training until does it also go to practical solutions when it comes to the economy whereby? when this particular Inmates from correction facility come back to the society and they want to start up something just to to fend for For themselves and also their family Does this particular training program also offer like business advice is And also training which they can take into yes Right now. There is no specific program and that we are doing outside. Okay, and but right now We are planning for making a half away home half away home I'm sorry for that half away home is a program whereby Now prison inmates when they come out of the prison now They're going they're going through a lot of difficulties. They don't have a place where they can adjust themselves and They don't they're also rejected that by their families as well Yes, so that's why we create a half away home where they can come and that they can also adjust themselves in that place And when they come to the half away home, we also have like academies where they can learn how to do business and also this Their skills and trainings and in that way So 30th, July is just a couple of few days. Yes. Yes so The mindset educational camps yearly From you said earlier. Yes. Yes to faster 30th of July until the 1st of August All right, so what's always the motive of the trainers as they meet? their students during the mindset change come Yes, especially as the title goes IYF a world youth connect and so Through this program We really wanted the whole world youth to connect together and because we believe that you can't succeed just by yourself alone Yes, also for the broader Horizon and also for the success and the happiness of your life We believe that this connection is also very important and so that's why we have organized this camp For the purpose of having the youth to be connected together. All right, so for This will be our last question. Why should the youth be part of the 2020 online youth connect and Yes, especially To them. Yes, especially through this program First of all the most important thing. They will probably they will for sure bring the change of the mindset and number two they will have a connection with many youth around the world and Through that that they can interact they can meet and through this I hope they can be connected together and so that also They can you never know visit Europe and visit Asia and also invite them to your homes and make friends as well I am also here together with my Friend here and we've met through this IYF program about eight years ago And until today we are working together. We are friends and in the same way I hope our youth can also reach out and don't only put yourself In the in the bowl of in the box of Kenya and see yourself in the world is world the stage Yes, international stage. Yes, and then I think you have many opportunities as well. I was thinking about the diversity because During the IYF program for the youth I get to interact with the youth from Globally, yes, do you feel like this is an opportunity for young people to just enhance the leadership skills? Not just on the Kenyan level space, but also Yes, I believe that this is a great opportunity for them to also learn the leadership and because so you don't have to actually Experience before you experience it. You can also hear from other people how their leadership is you can also experience how other people are having the leadership and Many people, you know as we were organizing this so we were able to realize the way European youth think The way Kenyan youth things are so different. That's why this time as we were preparing for this To organize was very difficult because the kinds of program that they want and the kinds of program that the Kenyan youth They want was so different their character the kinds of program that they are used to you know what I mean, right? It was so different and so as I saw that there are big differences according to the continents So also the leadership training and leadership skills must be so different from different continents of the youth And it is an opportunity for us to benchmark What is also very useful for us and they can also benchmark? What is the great leadership also in Africa continent as well? Just wind up For the young person who's watching isn't when you study this conversation We say like the person who is qualified is just being a youth being a young person Full of dreams and ambition. So going back to how can they get? How can they get to be part of IYF program which is starting on 30th of July till fast of August and Yeah, how can it just get to be part of this? Yes, the best way is for them to reach out to IYF Kenya on Facebook If you come to the Facebook right now, we are also having the talent show going around Close to 300 teams. They also participated in this talent show And so you can see also many talents of the youth and not only that you will also see many Advertisement and also posters on how you can join It's very simple. You can just fill out on the Google form and fill out your name and your information Then it will give you a group and then on WhatsApp We are going to give you make you a group of about 40 youth in Kenya and then through that Chatting in a group meeting now you will continuously receive information How to log in and how to come in what time to come in and so that you can join the programs together and We are doing this in partnership together with National Youth Service National Youth Council and also with the Ministry of Youth as well. Yes So once they come and fully participate in all the programs, we take all the we check who participated and who didn't participate And so once they participate in all the program They will also receive the certificate of participation signed by me and also signed by The Cabinet Secretary of Ministry of Youth as well No, this is an opportunity that young person wherever you are right now and you're watching this particular conversation You need to jump into this wagon and for more information head to IYF Kenya on their Facebook page, right?
