You: Yet another conference? *rolls eyes* 🙄 Us: Trust me, this one was DIFFERENT!! 😎 ✨ Two days of power packed action catapulted us into the future and showed us what #YouthPower really looks like - that’s how we can best summarise the Youth Power Summit that we organised over this weekend in NYC with our lovely partners at Fondation Botnar. 💫 We are so grateful to all our partners for coming through, for believing in all things youth power and for letting young people take the lead. They are the now, they are the future. Let’s pass the mic to them? 🤗 NONE of this would have been possible without the support, trust and friendship of Fondation Botnar and their wonderful team. THANK YOU for supporting #YouthPower!

Is education truly preparing young people to become tomorrow’s change-makers? In Session 3 of the Entrepreneurship Exchange, we will explore the barriers that exist within current education systems that prevent young people, particularly from marginalised communities, from succeeding as entrepreneurs. Across regions like Africa, Asia, and Latin America, youth are often a large portion of the population, yet their education systems may not be designed to foster entrepreneurial skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and leadership. This session will address how we can reform education to better support young people in becoming the drivers of innovation and social change. We’ll also discuss how public-private partnerships can play a crucial role in creating more inclusive, supportive education systems and how we can empower young entrepreneurs through mentorship, funding, and access to resources. 📅 Date: 31st October 2024 ⏰ Time: 3 pm CAT | 9 AM EST | 2 PM London 🎟️ Register today: https://bit.ly/EEseries3 #FemaleLeadership #WeAreRestless #EESeries #YouthCollective #YouthPower #YoungEntrepeneurs #Entrepreneurship

🎉 What an inspiring day at the #AUEUYouthLab Kick-off Ceremony 🌍 Ready to dive in? Let’s go 👇🏿 Today, we embarked on an incredible journey, laying the groundwork for young people to #Engage, #Empower and #Connect. 🕒 The day kicked off with networking, workshops, and breakout discussions between youth delegates from the Youth Voices Lab and Youth Action Lab. The morning session set the stage, shaping the high-level conversations that followed. ☕ During the networking breaks, we established meaningful connections, creating new collaborations and generating fresh ideas, celebrating culture through a traditional #ethiopian coffee ceremony. 🎨 One standout moment: Throughout the day, young street artists created an extraordinary graffiti on canvas, symbolizing the collective power of youth. Our Guests of Honour joined in to add the finishing touches - a true celebration of unity and creativity. 🎤 Afternoon highlights featured powerful speeches moderated by Bitania Lulu Berhanu: H.E. Jutta Urpilainen (EU Commissioner for International Partnerships, European Commission) H.E. Nardos Bekele-Thomas (AUDA NEPAD CEO) H.E. Javier Niño Pérez (EU Ambassador to the African Union) Ms. Prudence Ngwenya (AUC Women, Gender and Youth Director) Engineer Wubayehu Mamo - Director General of Abrehot Library H.E. Jutta Urpilainen shared a powerful reminder: "With 1.8 billion young people in the world, but only 2.8% of MPs being young, it's time young people had a seat at the table and their voices heard." We are beyond grateful to everyone who made today a success. Now, it’s time to turn these discussions into meaningful action! #AUEUYouthLab #YouthEmpowerment #AUEUYouthVoicesLab #EngageEmpowerConnect #PoweroftheCollective #AUEU #EuropeAid AUEU Youth Lab

🤔 WHAT DO GIRLS WANT? Racking your brain for an answer? Lo and behold - you don't have to! Girls and young feminists have consistently and clearly communicated what they need and laid out their vision for a better future. All we need to do is listen! ✊A few weeks ago we were in New York hosting the #YouthPowerSummit and had the opportunity to be part of a brilliant #WhatGirlsWant campaign which calls for change - demanding that girls and young women are heard and that their rights, needs and demands are central to efforts that will shape their future. ✨ This International Day Of The Girl Child, join the movement for girls’ vision for the future. Visit WhatGirlsWant.com to help us amplify girls’ demands! 🤗 This inspiring activation wouldn't have been possible without the visionary leadership of the numerous organisations fighting for a better future for girls all over the world: Malala Fund, She's the First, Plan International Girl Up, United Nations Foundation, Women Deliver, Girls First Fund, Save the Children International, Girl Rising, Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Nala Feminist Collective, Black Girl's Dream Initiative, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, We Are Family Foundation and more!
