YOUNG DEMOCRACY

YOUNG DEMOCRACY: The #YouthQuakeNam24 conference, held on 12 August at the Goethe-Institut in Windhoek, brought together over 100 young Namibians, policymakers and civil society representatives for a day dedicated to youth empowerment and democratic participation.

Organised by the Namibia Media Trust (NMT) to mark International Youth Day, the event centred on the theme 'Next Generation Democracy: Inspiring Youth to Lead and Innovate'.

The conference featured a mix of plenary sessions, panel discussions and interactive workshops designed to equip Namibia’s youth with the tools and knowledge to actively participate in their communities and the nation’s political landscape. Topics included leadership development, advocacy strategies and the role of innovation in civic engagement.

As #YouthQuakeNam24 concluded, delegates issued an official call to action, urging greater youth participation in democratic processes and advocating for policies that support young leaders.
