  • Who’s the Mentor Everyone Wants to Hear From? If we could ask, “Who is the 🆃🅾🅿 🅼🅴🅽🆃🅾🆁 you’ve always wanted to learn from?”, who would come to mind? Imagine bringing that person into an online or in-person gathering, sharing their insights, and engaging directly with them. We’re exploring the possibility of hosting not just one, but 2 or 3 incredible mentors to share their experiences and wisdom. Let’s shape the future of learning and growth together! Share your suggestions—who should we bring to the stage? #Mentorship #Leadership #EventInAddis #Networking

    #Sport and Job creation! #Sport and entrepreneurship. #Sportfordevelopemnt. For those who didn't understand the link here is a good partnership to harness the power of sport to empower young people and help them create a more sustainable future for themselves and their communities. 1 in 5 young people in Africa are not employed, in education or training and the rate of underutilization of the youth workforce in Africa is 23.8%. The sports industry offers considerable potential for global youth employability, alternative educational pathways, and skills development but has been significantly underexploited until now. Laureus Sport for Good (Laureus), the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the French Development Agency (AFD) have partnered to invest in expanding and strengthening programs to support and enable young people to access employment and education through a sport-based approach across the African continent. The ultimate goal of the partnership is to harness the power of sport to empower young people and help them create a more sustainable future for themselves and their communities.
