MOJUV Celebrates 5th Annual Day of Fellowship

This past Sunday, November 27th, MOJUV, Cantera's youth movement in Ciudad Sandino, organized and celebrated their annual “Dia de Convivencia,” or Day of Fellowship. Held in Ciuadad Sandino's main plaza, the all-day event attracted crowds who came to watch and participate in the day's activities. With the theme, “I can, should, and want to make the difference to say no violence,” MOJUV organized the activities around statistics and information about youth violence and violence against women that were shared throughout the day.


The event was full of music, dancing, karate and judo exhibitions, and soccer tournaments, all based around the theme of non-violence. Youth from other Cantera community centers in Managua participated as well as other youth organizations in Ciudad Sandino and, CJN, the Nicaraguan Youth Council, which works with youth movements on a national level. MOJUV, which recognizes the importance of communal sharing and uses their many expression groups as alternatives to violence, were very happy with the events and activities of the day.
