Here are some findings from our first workshop in Limpopo.codebridgeyouth.org.za/post/mokopane-…

It's Youth Day in South Africa tomorrow! We asked our Codebridge Youth champions, locally and across the border, what the day means to them and what it means to be a young person where they live. Here's Denorisa Frederick from Rosh Pinah, Namibia.

Happy Youth Day! Today we profile Graça Visagie from Bredasdorp in Cape Agulhas. We picked her brain on what it means to be a young person in Bredasdorp and what Youth Day means to her. "The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow" - Nelson Mandela

As Youth Month carries on, we hear from Kwakona Paliso what it means to be a young person in Velddrif, Bergrivier. “The most dramatic changes in any country usually come from the youth because young people have the energy and desire to evoke change.” – Mlamuli Mbambo.

Lauren Philander shares with us what it means to be a young person in Piketberg and what Youth Day means to her. "The nation owes you a clear policy and practical measures to ensure that the younger generation contributes to and benefits from our new democracy." - Nelson Mandela
