Tomorrow’s Trailblazers: Youth Leadership Across the UK’s African Diaspora


Details: Thursday 16 April, 6-7PM BST

Sponsoring Organisation: The Africa Centre, London, United Kingdom

Language(s): English

Description of the side event: 
Inspired by the Young Africa Centre’s (YAC) programme Generation 54: Tomorrow’s Trailblazers, this webinar showcases how youth of African descent in the UK’s capital are emerging as active drivers of social change and innovation. Featuring collaborators of YAC, including Bounce Black, Blacklisted Bookclub, Yendy Skin, Voicing Voices, and Congolese Connect, the event will explore how youth-led, community-rooted platforms foster social mobility, leadership, and wealth creation. Attendees will gain insight into scalable, youth-led approaches that address structural barriers in education and civic participation while advancing inclusive development and global solidarity.
