In today's rapidly evolving society, it is imperative that NGOs, civil society organizations, foundations, and activists collaborate with government entities to ensure that vital information is readily accessible to our youth. Upholding the Batho Pele Principles, "Access to Information" must be a central tenet in our efforts to combat the spread of misinformation that fosters confusion and discord within our communities. An Access to Information Symposium would serve as a crucial platform, empowering young individuals with accurate knowledge that contributes to the nation's growth and positions our country as a global destination of choice. Moreover, leveraging social media as an educational hub can facilitate the exchange of well-informed updates, fostering a culture of collective responsibility and active participation in nation-building. Through these collaborative efforts, we can cultivate an informed generation poised to drive positive change and contribute meaningfully to our society. #AccessToInformation #AccessToInformationSymposium #WellInformedYoungPeople
