It has an area of more than 475 thousand km2 with a population of about 29 million inhabitants, and consists of 10 regions including the Adamaoua region, where the diocese of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is located.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/signisrome\/videos\/569874854259953\">SIGNIS With You Live<\/a>, Fr.

In addition to this, this project fully meets the needs of local youth, as the audiovisual production studio represents an opportunity for the youth to express themselves and build a career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Realizing this project was tough at first, but with the technical support of SIGNIS Services Rome, responsible for developing the project and contributing to the search for funds, the project began to progress again. The goals of this initiative are to equip the audiovisual production studio and train the youth, because the involvement and commitment of young people is a fundamental aspect of the diocese of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and, as pointed out by Fr. Aur\u00e9lien Lehoun Mbea, the main goal is to \u201ctrain young people, bring out their talents, promote and enhance them\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the second phase of the project \u2013 the installation of the equipment and the organization of training sessions \u2013 had a moment of slowdown due to the delay in shipping, but the Diocese of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was not discouraged and began to organize training in local parishes to select the young people who will participate in the activities; and to create small productions with the means at their disposal, broadcasting them on Facebook, Telegram and other social networks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, Fr. Aur\u00e9lien stated that the diocese of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">took to heart the theme of the fifty-sixth World Day of Social Communication launched by Pope Francis based on listening with the ear of the heart, stressing \u201cthe importance of listening, of considering others, and of caring for others in order to be able to free oneself and the other\u201d, and thus underlining the fundamental role that communication plays in social development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fr.
