3rd Conversation Series organised by National Youth Council of Malawi

 YETOD through one of our team Faith participated in the 3rd Conversation Series organised by National Youth Council of Malawi in Mzuzu at Grand Palace Hotel today on 14th August.

The theme of the event was "Bridging the Digital Divide: Are Malawian Youth Ready to Lead in the Digital Revolution Towards Malawi 2064?" It provided an incredible opportunity to engage with youth from various districts in the northern region and to learn from youth organizations such as Mzuzu E Hub, Arts and Documentaries Malawi, and the Muuni Fund, all dedicated to addressing the digital divide in Malawi.

Key Takeaways:

1. Youth as Innovators: It is essential for young people to transition from being mere consumers of technology to becoming proactive producers of digital innovations.

2. Advocacy for Digital Innovation: Youth should embrace the role of advocates for digital innovation, fostering a culture of creativity and entrepreneurship within the digital landscape.

3. Capacity Building in Digital Skills: There is a pressing need for initiatives that equip young people with essential digital skills, enabling them to thrive in a technology-driven society.

4. Meaningful Use of Technology: Young individuals must leverage technology and the internet in ways that effectively address the socio-economic challenges facing Malawi, thereby contributing to the country's vision for Malawi 2063.

Overall, the event highlighted the critical role that Malawian youth can play in shaping the digital landscape and driving progress toward a more inclusive digital future.

We are currently raising funds for the construction of a School block at Msawa Primary School in T/A Malanda, Nkhata Bay district, Malawi.
