WHO WE ARE :
Young Peoples Concerned Network FIJI is a group made up of strong minded and strong willed young people of Fiji who are concerned about issues that affect them and are willing to stand up for these ideals and make their voices heard.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN :
We are a group of young people dedicated to the ideals of democracy and where our beliefs and vision encompass the principles of free speech, human rights, the rule of law and the basic tenets of our constitution.
We believe that everyone is born free and equal in the world and thus everyone should have the same opportunities in education, healthcare and employment.
Every Young Person in Fiji needs to be empowered through the dissemination of information, the provision of opportunities and the realisation of their goals so that they in turn can pass this on to the next generation and thus build a positive, vibrant and an empowered Fiji.
OUR CONCEPTION :
In it's early conception in 2005, YPCN Fiji realised that the ideals of good governance and the survival of true democracy was under threat. This threat came from the Commander of the Military Forces. YPCN took to the streets trying to bring this to the attention of Fiji's leaders.
While this early demonstration did not deter the course of Fiji's history, it went a long way to empower the members to be vocal again about the 2006 takeover. YPCN Fiji will go down in the History of Fiji as the only group in Fiji who openly protested about the the death of Democracy in our Island immediately after the takeover.
Ours was a young voice of reason. It was a young voice of plea.
It was a voice that in turn went on to capture the attention of many from Fiji and around the globe.
LOOKING FORWARD ....... OUR GOALS , OUR VISION, OUR JOURNEY :
YPCN Fiji then realised that ...yes..we had arrived, we can make a difference, and making a difference is what matters.
YPCN Fiji is a group that is positive about the future of Fiji and is prepared to dream big.
We envision a generation of empowered Fiji Islanders working together and achiving a durable democratic economy.
We envision a future where young people get access to information, education, healthcare, work opportunities, basic needs and a future free from the shackles of poverty, strife, uncertainity and greed.
YPCN Fiji remains steadfast in it's endevour to make our voices heard and our opinion count.
Please email us you support and talk to us so that we can make these goals happen.
