Networking Activities
We have organized Both Welcome and Closing Dinners as a way of allowing delegates to get to know each other before the actual summit and also after the summit. These dinners have always been graced by high profiled persons including minister, Ambassadors, Parliamentarian etc and the bond our delegates create among themselves has been indisputable.
Plenary Sessions
Our Plenary sessions feature delegates as panelist or moderate been pair with experts in various field to discuss issues concern with the Summit theme and engage into questions and answers. Some other speakers deliver speeches on their personal lives or issues affecting young people relative to the Summit theme to motivate/inspire young people to aspire and make impact.
Brain-Date
We are thrilled to partner with e180 based in Canada to bring to the Annual Youth Education & Empowerment Summit for the first time "BRAIN-DATE". Braindates are about sharing knowledge. They are one-on-one or group conversations that you book with other participants while you’re at an event. Our web app, Braindate, helps you find the right people on its crowd-sourced knowledge market. Then, you meet face-to-face onsite, hosted by our Learning Concierges at the Braindate Lounge.
Learning Hub
In all that we do we aim to enhance the leadership, accountability and social entrepreneurship skills of young people .The hub is based on the idea that when learners are co-creators of their learning environments, they become active participants invested as stakeholders in the progress of their communities.
