Nokia Continues Commitment
(WORLD) Nokia and International Youth Federation (IYF) has announced that Netherlands will be its 20th country to benefit from the 'Make A Connection' initiative.
Make a Connection was launhced in 2000 and has directly benefited more than 180,000 participating youth worldwide and indirectly another 1.8 million people in the communities where these young people live.
Programmes focus on positive youth development through a series of locally relevant activities, including:
- Netherlands—establishing a network of youth press agencies to train disadvantaged young people as journalists;
- Poland—training and engaging more than 3,500 youth in volunteer service;
- Canada—strengthening the personal and social skills of more than 15,000 Aboriginal youth;
- Brazil—1,000 dedicated young people volunteer as reading mentors to at-risk children.
Martin Sandelin, Nokia's Vice President, CSR and Community Involvement, said 'in order for a global collaboration of this magnitude to work effectively, there has to be open, frank dialogue, clear strategic intent, strong 'political' will, and a willingness to take some risks. These are some of the 'must haves' for successful collaboration.'
