“The career festival was a reminder that I can do and be anything I want. The fact that one of the speakers was once a student of this school, was very inspiring. It shows that I can be more than I am now.

All over the world, teenagers are one of the most misconstrued category of people. They are labelled lazy, chaotic and irresponsible. However, the organisers of the African Teens Summit aims to prove this wrong. The event focused on African teenagers who are changing their community, the continent and the world for good. 

 

 We stopped over at GHOne TV to share about the summit and how we believe it will transform the lives of attendees.
