The GPE Youth Leaders are excited to host their annual Futures Festival, a dynamic youth-led event held on Zoom and livestreamed on YouTube on July 15, 2024. This festival brings together young leaders and policymakers to discuss the vital role of education in shaping our future. Titled “Empower and Engage: Education for Skills in a Diverse World,” the festival aligns with the African Union’s Year of Education and precedes significant events like the Olympics and the Summit of the Future, making the 2024 festival especially significant.
The festival will address the competitive job market’s demand for innovative and sustainable skills, while also focusing on the unique challenges faced by marginalized youth, including those affected by gender, disability, or refugee status.
Building on the success of last year’s 10-point education plan and its recommendations, the 2024 festival will delve into how these strategies—particularly those related to climate change, gender equality, and inclusion—can equip young people with the skills needed for a sustainable future.
