WASHINGTON - June 12, 2015 - PRLog -- The Embassy of the Republic of Niger invites youth leader and educator, Omékongo Dibinga to facilitate the 2015 youth leadership workshop in Niamey from June 8-13.

Dibinga focuses on issues related to youth participation in civic leadership, public management, and entrepreneurship. While in Niger, Dibinga has met and spoken with Yali Fellows, members of the Conseil National de la Jeunesse Nigerienne, Nigerien scouts, Jeune Chambre International, and a host of other groups.

In 2013, Dibinga came to Niamey to lead the first edition of the Youth Leadership Institute – a three-day workshop for Nigerien youth association leaders from all eight regions.  Dibinga’s interactive presentations focused on building leaders’ practical skills and understanding through five sessions: “Who am I and why am I here?”; “Seek to understand before you seek to be understood”; “What does a successful leader do and how?”; “What causes leaders to fail”; and “Developing an action plan.”  This year’s edition builds and expands on the previous workshop.

The Embassy of the Republic of Niger has stated that Dibinga is an inspiration to many Nigerien youth leaders during his 2013 workshop and welcome his continuous leadership abroad.
