The Issue
“We continue to experience social problems around the world;
young people getting won over by decay in society. The way of
thinking gets corrupt, and goodwill gets taken over by greed
and selfish ambition.”
- Voices of Youth
The Question
Would we continue to see this happen? Can’t we salvage
what is good in society and make it dominant? Can’t we
create a platform that breeds solution by harnessing the
passion and professionalism that the youth possesses?
Is it not
possible?
The Idea has not changed.
It has only grown.
We strongly believe in the power of arts and music as
tool for social change, as well as rightly harnessing
the passion the youth possess.
What is #LLM?
Whether we like it or not, we are to step up to the wheels of change and stir the
society in the direction we want it to go.
The #LLM creates the environment where youths can
actually have a say, and go one more step in effecting the
change they want to see in society.
How do we come in?
What’s on offer?
The Cafe
The #LLM Café doubles as a place where themed-events
take place, as well as anywhere the #LLM V-Corp members
converge to perform community building activities.
The Volunteer Corporation
The #LLM V-Corp is a pool of volunteers that subscribe to
the #LLM idea and have skills, proficiencies and
competences that can help implement ideas that are
cooked up in the Café.
Offline Mode
After an idea has been generated at the cafe, interested
persons and stakeholders are alerted.
A team is formed in a few weeks with a structure that gets
to cover all areas and give idea implementation a high
degree of certainty.
Online Mode: The V-Hub
This is similar to the offline mode, but instead of initiating a
convergence at the Cafe, projects/ideas can be initiated
virtually through the portal - "The LLM V-Hub".
The #LLM V-Hub is an online space that allows for V-Corp
members and other stakeholders to either create projects
or join projects
Impact: The LLM Café
A platform where youth can express their perceptions, and then go
further to participate in providing solutions.
A convergence of young people anytime, anywhere to act as change
makers and community builders.
Breeding networks, and relationships that aim at social change.
Impact: The LLM V-Corp
We sought to give every youth the ability to become a community
builder.
Harnessing the passion and professionalism exhibited by youth, we
look to direct into developmental activities
A hub where collaboration between youth and other stakeholders can
take place
