Today is a day of partnerships. Not only were we glad to link up with partner organisations in Brusssels at the Global Gateway High-Level Event on Education (@European Commission), there was something else of big importance that took place today. Today, on 11 April 2024 Jurriaan Middelhoff, Ambassador for Youth, Education & Work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands (Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken), and Roos Hogenkamp announced the intent for a new initiative that Nuffic is a proud lead partner of: the Africa-Europe Youth Academy! The Africa-Europe Youth Academy is part of the Youth Mobility for Africa Flagship and will function as an umbrella and actively coordinate youth leadership development opportunities across Africa and Europe. The new programme, which is planned to be launched later this year plans to increase opportunities for young people in their diversity to act as leaders and multipliers for sustainable development at social, economic, cultural and political level. Additionally the Africa-Europe youth Academy aims to improve quality and accessibility of youth leadership actions in Africa and between Africa and Europe. @Nuffic Southern Africa #TransformingEducation #GlobalGateway #PartnersInChange #InvestInEducation #QualityEducation #EducationForAll

Prime example of folx who think they can do something because they read some articles and been educated on the theoretical aspects of a topic. I see this play out with many educational and non-profit organizational leaders who claim to be anti-oppressive and anti-racist. Lived experience and daily practice are a must have if you are coaching and/or teaching others… It is absurd to have a leader who struggles with fragility, abuses power, protects their own privilege coach other leaders in the building on how to be anti-racist and equitable. What happened at the Olympics is another example of how this plays out in real life!!! #hypocrisy #playingthevictim #mockory #corruption #schoolleaders

Well done Elise. Important to see these examples of effective youth engagement.

Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, emphasized the critical importance of investing in youth and empowering them for leadership roles during the 10th Youth Legacy Conference of the Mandela Washington Alumni Association, held in Abuja. He highlighted that Africa’s youth hold the innovative solutions needed to drive the continent’s economic development. The conference, which marked the 10th anniversary of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, aimed to promote leadership and sustainable development across various sectors. Speakers at the event underscored the necessity of leveraging the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to foster unity, progress, and prosperity. The event also celebrated the fellowship’s achievements and called for collective responsibility in shaping a brighter future for Africa. From AIT
