British Council organises training course for youngsters

KARACHI - As many as 35 young people between the ages of 18 and 25 from Karachi, Hyderabad, Badin, Jamshoro, Umarkot, Mirpurkhas and Tharparkar received training in a three-day visioning workshop to support young people in becoming active citizens.

A statement here on Monday said that the moot was organised by the British Council and the Youth Parliament of Pakistan (YPP). It said that they recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in response to the global citizenship challenge young people face in an increasingly interconnected world.
