Its a Generational Thing?
Africa’s young majority is rising. But young people face endemic joblessness, poverty and social exclusion. Is Africa’s youthfulness a demographic gift or curse? In the past, struggles for freedom seized the hearts and minds of the youth. What’s shaping the social consciousness of Africa’s educated young people today? Have the elders failed to hand over the social justice baton to the born-frees? And what does this all mean for social giving in Africa? African elders and young activists will hold an inter-generational dialogue about these dilemmas at the 2012 assembly of the African Grantmakers’ Network. Click here to register now.
