Information lovers that go beyond the surface and are not afraid to swim at the deep end of the sea of information

It's crucial and equally important that information lovers cultivate their own unique voice and sound.

A unique voice and sound that is not only inspiring, educative, motivating and educational but a voice that rallies the far less informed to do some thing about their desperation.

Undoubtedly the strategic objective and goal for training for civic engagement is to rise up an intellectual band of trailblazers.

Trailblazers that are not afraid to come into con ict with the status quo.

This is so because every con ict enduring against the statusquo will eventually give birth to a revolution.

At the time when e ective global leadership demands a focus on the 4Cs ie :-civic engagement, collaboration, Communication and critical thinking.

The Battle of Gifted Tongues has cut out itself to create a niche that entirely focuses on training for civic engagement.

The power of civic engagement should be about identifying pressing societal problems and digging out

A revolution whose initial aim will not draw a line in the sand but rather to storm the beach.

And ip the scales in order to turn tables and the mundane events around.

Once the mundane events of our day and time are ipped then creativity will no longer be sti ed and impeded.

Over the year this program has given birth to intellectual bigwigs just as we witnessed at the just concluded presidential elections in Kenya.

One of the Battle of Gifted Tongues alumnis by the names of Isabella Obara, was on the forefront of providing minute by minute analytical coverage of the Kenyan election.

This was an encouragement for the Battle of Gifted Tongues to continue in its endeavour of training young African for civic engagement.
