Opportunities for growth and development

A fair for entrepreneurs bringing together young people from Indian Ocean countries will be part of the Indian Ocean Youth and Sports Commission (CJSOI) Games in Seychelles next year.

The fair is part of the youth program of the Games, which also includes sporting events. It will take place from July 28 to August 10. The Seychelles National Youth Council (SNYC), a member of the CJSOI local organizing committee, will organize the entrepreneurs’ fair.

The fair will be open to young people from the Indian Ocean aged 18 to 30. All participating countries are expected to bring two young entrepreneurs to participate. Although the committee has not yet decided on the format and venue of the event, Seychellois young entrepreneurs are encouraged to prepare for the event, which could provide them with opportunities for growth and development.

In addition to the business fair, other components of the CJSOI youth program include traditional cultural exchanges. The CJSOI Games are held every two years and were introduced in 1994. The goal is to promote friendship ties among the youth of member states and foster regional cooperation, sports culture, and youth development.

The CJSOI’s member states include Comoros, Djibouti, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Réunion, and Seychelles.
