What makes
a cohesive and resilient society?

CYS launched its very own corporate video on MCYS PODS (Progress, Organisational Development and Sports) Day on 23 November 2005. The video showcases the role that we at MCYS play through the five pillars of our mission:

Strong and Stable Families
Socially Responsible Individuals
Inspired and Committed Youth
A Sporting People
A Caring and Active Community

The making of...

After a number of false starts, the cameras finally got rolling and it took the CIRD team two arduous months of filming, scripting and editing before the final product was ready. The storyline adopted for the MCYS corporate video revolves around the question; “What makes a cohesive and resilient society?” Our message is that people are the heart and soul of the nation, and they make the difference between a restive society with no roots or common identity and one that is stable, united and inclusive.

We were very fortunate to secure the cooperation of the following individuals who have been associated with MCYS through our programmes and services:
