"I would recommend that young people join peacemaking clubs because in #PSE24, we learned many things, including listening, respect, and love. We also learned a lot about how to maintain peace in our community," Lysa Nimpagaritse recommended from Burundi.
"Je recommanderais aux jeunes de rejoindre des clubs de rétablissement de la paix car, en prenant la parole en public et en échangeant. Nous avons également appris à maintenir la paix dans notre communauté", a recommandé Lysa Nimpagaritse du Burundi.
"J'ai aimé Pensée Critique & apprendre à combattre les préjugés & stéréotypes. Il ne faut pas juger une personne/communauté en fonction de ses attentes mais plutôt apprendre à la connaître. Le PSE parce qu'il m'a permis de m'exprimer sans crainte",a déclaré Véronique Mashagio_DRC

One of the best things of #PSE24 is meeting so many other young people like me and to realize about our common things! On Monday we were a bit shy but by now, we share good times 🫰 these are my new friends Celia and Divine
Every day, after lunch, we came together in a circle to get different announcements from organisers. My favorite part is the games and energizers that the facilitators do for us 😍 which make us get to know each other much better #PSE24
#PSE24 game-changer for overcoming shyness! Stepping out of your comfort zone and engaging with others boosts confidence and transforms those nerves into newfound self-assurance. 🌟
