The Digizens' Circle is an engagement event that will be held as the first event of the AllAfrica Media Leaders' Summit on the 8th May 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya. It will be held at the University of Nairobi and will be open to all African Youths. The event aims to engage young digital natives and find out what their thoughts are on the state of African media. The theme of the event will be:
'What is the Youth's Place in African Media'
The youth of Africa are powerful and are the promise of the continent's future. They have a lot to say but due to cultural norms and fear of rejection or judgment, many of them remain silent. Some are brave enough to speak up but alone they cannot speak for all of Africa's youth. The youth are skillfully adept at all things tech and social media, with many of them having some kind of digital or online presence. The 2024 AllAfrica Public Youth Debate, which will be named The Digizens' Circle: Young Africa Speaks, aims to harness this and use it to gain the opinions of our youth. To aid this experience, the debate will make use of various digital tools and each youth participant will need to bring a smartphone. Register now and join us in the first edition of this exciting event.
