The Youth Innovation Partnership recently hosted a workshop in Cape Town to surface existing strategies that are successfully addressing challenges that the youth have and to build them out into a collaborative youth development framework that is practical and actionable. The second workshop will take place on Wednesday, 11 March at the Impact Hub in Rosebank.
“We envision a world where youth use their agency and skills to access sustainable and decent work, with the ability to build aspirational careers,” said Nizenande Machi, chief mastermind at Lucha Lunako. “These youth have the basic mental, emotional, psycho-social and competency tools to transcend the often traumatic conditions of their upbringings and we just need to provide them with support to develop themselves into active citizens who participate in the economic activities of a nation, and address poverty and inequality.”
