The Young Leaders Conference – Zambia, taking place from April 24th to 26th, 2023, will welcome young leaders in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sectors from Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
What is it?
The primary goal of the conference in Zambia is to empower young leaders in East and Southern Africa with leadership skills to discuss region-specific challenges and carve out solutions on the topic of Integrating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) into Primary and Secondary Education.
The conference will cater to young leaders between the ages of 25-35 who are motivated to expand their leadership knowledge and engage in important discussions that advance their region’s well-being with a focus on Leadership and ICT Integration. The conference is designed to encourage them to establish regional networks for future exchange.
Objectives
- Reach more young leaders in East and Southern Africa and equip them with leadership skills to help them establish regional networks for future exchange;
- Increase knowledge in identifying and understanding challenges of ICT integration in the education sector of the East and Southern Africa region for the participating youth;
- Give the participants the opportunity to carry out community outreach and mobilization for ICT with appropriate stakeholders locally and regionally;
- Provide mentorship and financial support to develop community projects.
Which sessions are available virtually?
Through carefully selected speakers and training materials, the Young Leaders Conference, for three days, is tailored for ICT professionals and community development practitioners.
