Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, hosted a major event for youth: the YouthConnekt Africa 2024 summit. This gathering highlighted the importance of youth employment and the skills needed for Africa’s future.
The YouthConnekt Africa 2024 summit brought together over 4,000 young people from across Africa in Kigali from November 8 to 10. The aim was to discuss youth employment and the skills they need to succeed, especially in an increasingly digital world. The summit helps young people find ideas to improve their future and that of their communities.
During the summit, several topics were discussed, such as digital innovation, mental health, creative industries, and agriculture.
A competition called Hanga Pitchfest allowed young entrepreneurs to present their creative ideas. The grand prize was won by the startup Sinc Today, which helps organize events in a simpler and more eco-friendly way.
This summit showed how creative and ready African youth are to make a difference. They are the future of Africa, and through events like YouthConnekt, they can continue to innovate and inspire others to build a better future.
