Browsing: Digital Youth Festival

From a community standpoint, youth unemployment has both social and economic effects, including decreased economic wellbeing, human capital erosion, social exclusion, criminality, and social instability. To try and prevent or eliminate this, and obviously not overnight, organisations such as Africa Beyond 4IR (AB4IR) have made it their mission to contribute to change. To encourage the youth and show them how to leverage resources that are available to them, especially those in under-resourced communities, the organisation is hosting a 2-day event called the Digital Youth Festival. The purpose of this programme is to provide a platform that introduces South African youth to the various opportunities accessible in the digital creative sectors. This hybrid event will take place in three provinces: Gauteng, Limpopo, and the Eastern Cape, and will appeal to both physical and virtual guests.
