As part of promoting a culture of fraternity and peace through active non-violence, AJECL collaborates with parishes and local communities to organize youth sports and cultural competitions under the banner of the “Gwizamahoro Cup.” The central theme of the completion is : “Youth, let’s grow up to live together and play, but never to fight agaist each other”.
As part of the promotion of the culture of brotherhood and peace through active non-violence during this century, the AJECL, in collaboration with the parishes, organizes sports and cultural competitions for young boys and girls with a special trophy: “Gwizamahoro cup”
The theme of Gwizamahoro cup is: “We, the elders of the 21st century, we want to grow in conviviality and never in hostility”. It calls on the first generation of 21st century (those who will be aged 11 to 35 in 2025), on the one hand, not to resort to violence to solve their problems at the individual, family, regional or international level; it invites them, on the other hand, to take the path of active non-violence to resolve conflicts. This awareness applies the qualification of benevolent elders (Infura z’umugisha) to elders who cultivate conviviality and refuse the logic of violence; the qualification of malevolent elders to elders who maintain a spirit of hatred and violence; the qualification of close friends of the 21st century to the cadets of the 20th century who show the elders of the 21st century the way to build a non-violent future; the qualification of traitors of the 21st century to the cadets of the 20th century who transmit to the elders of the 21st century a message of division and violence.
