International Youth Think Tank’s Post

25 to 29 August was a transformative week of an African approach to democracy entrepreneurship at STIAS: Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study. Myself and 23 other International Youth Think Tank Youth Fellows spent a rigorous week formulating policy proposals on the advancement of democracy, utilising an African centered and bottom-up approach. We were also privileged to be advised by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman, Milyon Tekle-Haile, Kim Angell and Heidi October just to name a few. Thank you to the International Youth Think Tank, The Nobel Prize, STIAS: Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study, Frederik Van Zyl Slabbert Institute for Student Leadership Development, Stellenbosch University , and my fellow Youth Fellows for making it the week that it was. I look forward to our proposals not just remaining on paper but being implemented within and for our continent!
