An Introduction to Civic Action Projects

Hello guys,

I have just realized that since I founded this blog, I posted just one post about the Youth LAB. It’s not because I don’t have things to say, but is about timing.

Every Youth LAB participant knows how important are Civic Action Projects (which we call CAPs) as a part of leadership.

A picture of our volunteering team that cleaned a public school.

Doubtless PH International and ARI Movement did a great job, educated us about CAPs. I was too lazy to take notes, then. But fortunately, I scanned and uploaded the documents those given us and I do not think I need to give more info for this introduction. In order to read these ones well, you must click the right-bottom button to make it fullscreen. Here you go, fellows:

I don’t think these texts are copyrighted, but if so, they can contact me. The one above is an introduction. If you don’t have an idea, no worries! Here you go;

You may find these document too long, but you better be patient. A leader must be patient enough to read these stuff, in my humble opinion.

Please comment about these, and I beg you, inform me if you are about to do a CAP!

Don’t Panic, Be Organized

Hello guys,

A friend of mine have just shared this on Facebook. The moment I see it, I lost in thought. We are just people, and we know it. Each of us is a single, alone person. Maybe we scare something bigger than ourselves. But in that occasion, we mostly run. Remember the saying “Run for your life!”, just like that.

Maybe there are some people don’t run; instead stand up, organize and fight with the big trouble. They organize instead of running for their own lives. (Don’t think that the “Stand up and fight!” phrase didn’t make me remember Turisas’ album)

If you read the “About me” page on this blog, you all should see that I got educated about leadership. If there were a phrase to summarize all the camp, it shall be “Don’t panic, ORGANIZE.”. For sure.

I truly believe that local bloggers are the real fighters. They organize and fight, as Adnan Hajizada and Emin Milli did. No one says it always brings success, but attempt is a kind of success, too.

I think the image below has a better resolution. Doesn’t matter. This kind of things always motivates me to success, to do things, to raise awareness in a society about a specific topic.

Don’t forget that you don’t have to be born as a leader, we’re all leaders deep in our lives.
